Failed to set anything but High profile

[vucetica]

Here is my h264.par file. I put 77 for profile_idc, and initialization goes well, but after I call encoder.GetInfo() and it shows 100 for profile_idc...it is also shown in stream analyzer, so obvious encoder does high profile encoding. It seems that something from my .par file prevents main and base profile, but I can not figure out what:

what is wrong in this .par file? thanks!

Hi Aleksander,

Right, there is function in the codeto check if the entered paramtersarematched with the profile. for example,
//Switch appropriate profile
bool profile_check = true;
while( profile_check ){
switch (core_enc->m_info.profile_idc)
{

if( core_enc->m_info.bit_depth_aux != 8
|| core_enc->m_info.alpha_incr_flag != 0
|| core_enc->m_info.alpha_opaque_value != 0
|| core_enc->m_info.alpha_transparent_value != 0
|| core_enc->m_SeqParamSet.aux_format_idc != 0
|| core_enc->m_info.bit_depth_chroma != 8
|| core_enc->m_info.bit_depth_luma != 8
|| core_enc->m_info.chroma_format_idc != 1
|| core_enc->m_info.transform_8x8_mode_flag
|| core_enc->m_info.qpprime_y_zero_transform_bypass_flag) {
//return(UMC_ERR_INVALID_STREAM);
core_enc->m_info.profile_idc = H264_HIGH_PROFILE;

You may try change
100/*Highprofile:transform_8x8_mode:0--off,1-on;0--usestandard,1--
to
0 0 0
and see if it works

It worked. Thanks!
