[x264-devel] Real time ffmpeg / x264 encoder behavior when input resolution suddenly changes

[Danny Wilson]

I want to take a live HD-SDI signal being captured by a capture card and encode it in real time to X.264.

What happens when the input resolution suddenly changes? eg, from HD SDI 1080/50i to HD SDI 720/59p, etc.

Does the encoder handle that gracefully? Or would there be some artifacts/disturbance in the output? (or worse?)

Thanks
