Summary0000329: Inserting 2052/6156 cabac_zero_word syntax elements/bytes (Clause 7.4.2.10)
DescriptionI have seen this problem with the encoder. If I want to encode the video with all IDR frames, this error shows up with certain videos. With the same configurations it works for few yuv videos but for others it generates errors. With the current configuration if you choose the standard clips of news and bridge from this URL http://trace.eas.asu.edu/yuv/index.html , it will generate .264 file with no errors but if you try this with paris video it will generate the following error. I have attached the snapshot for review.
Steps To ReproduceHere is the configuration file.
Additional Information# New Input File Format is as follows
# <ParameterName> = <ParameterValue> # Comment

# See configfile.h for a list of supported ParameterNames

OK, this seems to hit a combination of circumstances, that make the encoder fail.

It seems rate control is failing with IDR only coding. If I set IDRPeriod = 0, and also RCUpdateMode=2 (which is required for hierarchical coding), I get reasonable QP values.

Otherwise QP is decreased to 8. With such a low value, it may be necessary to add cabac_zero_word syntax elements to the bitstream (but usually I would expect that to happen only with much lower QPs). It seems the RTP output cannot handle packets above a certain size. I'm not sure, if this only relates to the situation where we add cabac_zero_words or would also happen with larges images.

I think, RTP is constrained to a max. packet size and fragmentation packets are not implemented. So I'm not sure, if we can fix this part. Also RTP is not well maintained. Annex B byte stream is preferred.

Maybe bin counting should also be checked.
