media SDK sample_encode with JPEG, image height is halved

[yu__leon]

hi there

i am trying sample_encode program in the media SDK  to convert NV12 file to JPEG.  However the output jpeg height is halved. the original image resolution is 1920 x 1080, and the output jpeg exif info  shows resolution 1920 x 540.    In comparision, for the same nv12 input file, ffmpeg converts it properly. 

any advice is appreciated.  thank you. 

attached files: 

1.  image input file:  test-nv12.yuv,  which is generated by ffmpeg from a JPEG image.   the image resolution is 1920 x 1080. 

2.  sample_encode output file:  sample_encode_output.jpg.  the image height is reduced by 50%. 

the file info property of sample_encode_output.jpg  shows that the resolution is 1920 x 540. 

3. ffmpeg convert nv12 to jpeg  output file:  test-ffmpeg.jpg .   this file has no visual difference from the nv12 input. 

media SDK command used : 

.\sample_encode.exe jpeg -q 100 -i .\test-nv12.yuv -o output.jpg -w 1920 -h 1080 -sw -tff -nv12

Hi Leo,

Sorry for the late response.

I can reproduce with the command you supplied. After I remove the argument "-tff", I can generate a full frame picture.

Could you try to remove "-tff" and see if it solves your problem?

Hi Mark

yes  removing "-tff" solves the problem. thank you.

what is the difference between  MFX_PICSTRUCT_PROGRESSIVE and MFX_PICSTRUCT_FIELD_TFF?   I am using -tff for my H264 encoding as follows. And the NV12 frame for H264 encoding is generated by Intel IPP from RGB frame.    

sample_encode.exe -nv12 -tff -sw h264 -u speed -i "d:\intelsdk_test\nv12.yuv" -o "d:\intelsdk_test\encoded_h264.avc" -w 720 -h 576 -dump "d:\intelsdk_test\config.txt"

Hi Leon,

Could you open other post for the question?

You can refer to the following online document at "Appendix A" in the encode section:

https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK/blob/master/doc/mediasdk-man.pdf

There should be a constrain when you use these parameters.

Please post the follow-up question in the new post you created.
