[x264-devel] How to specify GOP structure and reference frames

[Kovacs Peter]

Hi All,

I'd like to explicitly specify the GOP by specifying frame types and the 
references used by P and B frames. I can see --qpfile can be used for 
frame types, but I cannot see any option to specify the references. I'm 
about to do some MVC experiments, therefore need to tell the encoder 
which views to use as references.

I suspect x264_reference_build_list() in encoder.c is the function that 
selects the references for the frame.
Does anybody have a patch for doing this?
Hints for modifying this function to suit my needs are also welcome.

Thanks,
Peter
