Hello,
I'm using the H264 encoder on a Froyo HTC Desire. Parsing the
generated 3GP stream allows to identify individual frames, and their
timing.
Now it turns out that:
(1) MediaRecorder.setVideoFrameRate() doesn't affect the average
frame rate, which is always close to 17fps, regardless of the asked
rate from 4 to 30 fps.
(2) In the logs I get contradictory messages (example for an asked
rate of 15 fps):
08-30 16:07:48.198 E/VENC_ENC( 68): VENC_ERROR
update_param_port_def::1651 Frame rate is for input port (refer to OMX
IL spec)
but also:
08-30 16:07:48.602 E/VENC_ENC( 68): ven_print_config::348 config
frame_numerator=15, fps_denominator=1, bitrate=420000
(3) By parsing the H264 NALU types, I do see the effect of varied
MediaRecorder.setVideoFrameRate() values: they affect the IDR relative
rate (~GOP size):
- asked value 4: one IDR frame for 3 non-IDR frames
- asked value 15: one IDR frame for 14 non-IDR frames
- asked value 30: one IDR frame for 29 non-IDR frames
All this smells like there is a bug while crossing all the API layers,
passing one parameter for another.
Of course I cannot say before Froyo, because in 2.1 the H264 encoder
on the Desire was broken/missing.
Any insight on this ? Workaround ?
-Alex
