NAL head after use Encoder indicaate: Access unit delimiter

[zheng_s_]

I use the same code to design a transcode app  which inlcude  Decode/VAPP/ Encode functions.

then I try to test the h264 video generated from Intel encoder and it is not playable by VLC.  I dump the header of each frame and  found follwoing interesting:

The orignal  H264 frame:

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

And here is the output from Intel Encoder:

I didn’t copy the full buffer, since it is huge. The first 4 bytes is 0001 which is h264 NAL start prefix code, then followed by 0x09, indicate access unit delimiter. But I don’t know why the header/NAL type could be different after encoder. Anyone get experience in h264  format? And how to make the output from encode is playable

Hi, 

Is your source video an "elementary" stream (without audio, etc.)?

Do you reproduce the issue by using  sample_multi_transcode.exe application?  If so, can you provide the parameters you are using?
