yida_123 — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 08:55:56 GMT

Hello
i used h.264 decoder sample to decode a packet. the emergence of a gray section, how to solve this problem? I used the ffmpeg solution of this package, there is no such phenomenon.

who can help me ?

by the way , 352*288 is right, but 1280*720 has that problem.

i used ipp_ia32_5.3 , and ipp-samples 5.3

hi vladimir

i just want to know about ipp decode h264, H264 decoding process, if there are 2 consecutive bytes of 0, there will be an 0x03, I want to know whether to delete the 0x03when use ipp decoding

When you reply to a post in the forum there is an "Add Files" button (above the editing window) where you can attach a file along with your reply. Not sure how big the attachments can be, but please give it a try. If that doesn't work we can find an alternate method. I think the file is too large to mail (will probably bounce).

Hi Yida,

There seem to be a problem in the stream. Toward the beginning there are two IDRs which both have an invalid intra chroma mode at MB 720 which cause the decoder to throw an exceptions (you can get more details by putting a breakpoint into the constructor ofh264_exception).

On my side the file would not decode at all until I modified the functionProcessSegment in umc_h264_segment_decoder_mt.cpp to return a success code instead of an error in case of an exception.

I get a video of an office with the top broken (green band)

Hi Emmanuel
Thanks for your reply!
That ismy problem . iget the video of an office with the top broken(gray band). but when i used ffmpeg decode ,the video is correct.

Hi yida,

The problem is in the stream, ffmpeg makes an assumption (which is working in that case). The idr_pic_id field of frame 78 is 36 for the first slices and then becomes 35 begining with the slice with MB address 720. According to the specs all slices of the IDR should have the same value. The IPP decoder treat it as two different frames, ffmpeg probably do not check the value and assume it is the same frame. (not that both my analyser and reference implementation show that frame broken and actually have the exact same output than my IPP implementation).

Hi Emmanuel,
Thanks for your reply. is there exactly solution.modify the frame by myself? i received the data from network.
can you show me the code?

yida

In umc_h264_slice_decoding.h there is a function called IsPictureTheSame.
Toward the end of the function there is a check done to compare the idr_pic_id of two slices.
If you comment out the check (and following return) you will be able to decode the stream.
Note that if you do so the decoder will be unable to differentiate between two consecutives IDR that have missing packets.
