[x264-devel] Any control over NAL sizes?

[Patrick White]

Hi Dennis,

There is indeed a parameter to change, in the x264_param_t struct, the "i_slice_max_size" variable.

There are also related options for macro-blocks and slices.

Cheers,
Patrick

Something like setting a target NAL size based on the available payload in a UDP packet, for example.  So instead of having to take one NAL and split it over N packets, the NALs would have an upper limit and the encoder would output variable sized slices to hit that limit and each NAL would fit in a packet.
