I am developing screen capture App using QSV and ffmpeg 

My app create MP4(h.264) file well,

but when I play Mp4 file..the result is bad .. like below

Did I do something wrong or setup up Encoding parameters , VPP parameters badly?

Anyone help me please..

Here is Result of System Analyzer

Hi Kim,

How can i fix this problem on 6th Intel CPU fundamentally??

I am not sure but I feel its ok to have different pitch value on different hardware/driver. We just need to be careful while copying frames between buffers using pitch value.

Let me know how you are copying raw frames into vpp buffer. Are you copying complete frame in one go (like doing memcpy of full buffer in a single call) or are you copying frames row by row (one row in a single memcpy call)?

If you are doing single memcpy of complete buffer in one call then it is wrong. Do row by row memcpy using source and destination pitch.

Hi Kim,

By seeing your output image, it looks like you are using incorrect width of capture frames.

What is your screen resolution? Make sure you are using pitch value correctly when processing raw frame buffer for encoding.

Thank you for replay Ramashankar.

I am using 1920 x 1080 and wondering how can I fix pitch value?

In addition,

When I debug , Figured out that row pitch of real image(raw frame) is 7680 (1920 * 4)

but, pmfxSurfacesVPPIn[nVPPSurfIdx]->Data.Pitch value is "7808"

Is it skylake driver bug?

Hi Kim,

Is it skylake driver bug?

It may or may not be a bug, but one thing for sure is that you need to copy your raw frame in vpp surface by using source pitch as 7680 and destination pitch as 7808, that is after copying 7680 bytes, move your source buffer by 7680 and destination buffer by 7808. It should solve your issue.

Thank you Ramashankar!

I debugged with same source  on my LaptopPC(4th intel CPU)

the result is that row pitch of real image(raw frame) is 7680 

and pmfxSurfacesVPPIn[nVPPSurfIdx]->Data.Pitch value is 7680 as  well.

output mp4 file is working well!

what is diffrence between 4th Intel CPU and 6th Intel CPU???

As you said pitch value may be a  cause..

How can i fix this problem on 6th Intel CPU fundamentally??

 

P.S Actually I get pitch value by using IDirect3DSurface9::LockRect method.. it returns pitch value "7808"

Hi Ramashankar,

I found that I am not using pitch value But, just using frame copy like..

"memcpy(pSurface->Data.B, fSource, h * w * 4)"

this function is called just before encoding..

and I checked raw data after memcpy() 

for example..

=======================================================

memcpy(pSurface->Data.B, fSource, h * w * 4);

BYTE* buf = new BYTE[1920 * 4 * 1080];
int c = 0;
 
for (int i = 0; i < 1920; i++)
{
      for (int j = 0; j < 1080; j++)
      {
            buf[c + 0] = (BYTE)pSurface->Data.B[c + 0];
            buf[c + 1] = (BYTE)pSurface->Data.B[c + 1];
            buf[c + 2] = (BYTE)pSurface->Data.B[c + 2];
            buf[c + 3] = (BYTE)pSurface->Data.B[c + 3];
            c += 4;
        }
}
 
SaveBitmapToFile((BYTE*)buf,
1920,
1080,
32,
0,
L"C:\\MyFolder\\bluesquare.bmp");
 
delete[] buf;
=========================================================

bmp file is fine...

 

after that it called runFrameVPPAsync method...and I can't debug anymore..because it's library method..

 

Thx for your reply

Hi Ramashankar,

Yes..you are right 

I have to data copy row by row 

Finally, I resolved this problem !!

Thank you very much and Happy new year!

Hi Kim,

Great to hear that your issue is resolved. 

As a general practice, always do raw frame buffer copy row by row using source and destination pitch value. It will work on all hardware/devices/driver, inspite of any pitch value.

Happy New Year to you too :)
