[x265] Tiles support for x265

[Mario *LigH* Rohkrämer]

Shortest possible reply... :-P


I *guess* the recently introduced implementation of several slices is  
already a step towards this even narrower approach.

IIRC, slices already existed in previous video standards (like MPEG 1/2  
Video) but were mainly meant to span across the whole width, or at least a  
horizontal sequence of consecutove macroblocks in encoding order. Tiles  
are specifically designed to split the frame into a grid of rectangular  
parts, like a "video wall" is made of a grid of monitors.

Did I imagine correctly so far? ... It might be suitable to explain this  
concept a bit in a kind of "outlook" post in a video forum, maybe even in  
comparison with WPP (dis- vs. advantages).
