上一篇文章已经记录了x264_encoder_open()，x264_encoder_headers()，和x264_encoder_close()这三个函数的源代码。本文继续上一篇文章的内容，记录x264_encoder_encode()函数的源代码。
x264_encoder_encode()是libx264的API函数，用于编码一帧YUV为H.264码流。该函数的声明如下所示。
/* x264_encoder_encode: * encode one picture. * *pi_nal is the number of NAL units outputted in pp_nal. * returns the number of bytes in the returned NALs. * returns negative on error and zero if no NAL units returned. * the payloads of all output NALs are guaranteed to be sequential in memory. */ int x264_encoder_encode( x264_t *, x264_nal_t **pp_nal, int *pi_nal, x264_picture_t *pic_in, x264_picture_t *pic_out );
x264_encoder_encode()的定义如下所示。

}
从源代码可以看出，x264_encoder_encode()的流程大致如下：
（1）调用x264_frame_pop_unused获取一个空的fenc（x264_frame_t类型）用于存储一帧编码像素数据。
（2）调用x264_frame_copy_picture()将外部结构体的pic_in（x264_picture_t类型）的数据拷贝给内部结构体的fenc（x264_frame_t类型）。
（3）调用x264_lookahead_put_frame()将fenc放入Lookahead模块的队列中，等待确定帧类型。
（4）调用x264_lookahead_get_frames()分析Lookahead模块中一个帧的帧类型。分析后的帧保存在frames.current[]中。
（5）调用x264_frame_shift()从frames.current[]中取出分析帧类型之后的fenc。
（6）调用x264_reference_update()更新参考帧队列frames.reference[]。
（7）如果编码帧fenc是IDR帧，调用x264_reference_reset()清空参考帧队列frames.reference[]。
（8）调用x264_reference_build_list()创建参考帧列表List0和List1。
（9）根据选项做一些配置：
a)如果b_aud不为0，输出AUD类型NALU
b)在当前帧是关键帧的情况下，如果b_repeat_headers不为0，调用x264_sps_write()和x264_pps_write()输出SPS和PPS。
c)输出一些特殊的SEI信息，用于适配各种解码器。
（10）调用x264_slice_init()初始化Slice Header信息。
（11）调用x264_slices_write()进行编码。该部分是libx264的核心，在后续文章中会详细分析。
（12）调用x264_encoder_frame_end()做一些编码后的后续处理。
下文将会按照步骤对上述函数进行简单的分析。
x264_frame_pop_unused()用于获取1个x264_frame_t类型结构体fenc。该函数的定义位于common\frame.c，如下所示。
//获取一帧的编码帧fenc或者重建帧fdec x264_frame_t *x264_frame_pop_unused( x264_t *h, int b_fdec ) { x264_frame_t *frame; if( h->frames.unused[b_fdec][0] )//unused队列不为空 frame = x264_frame_pop( h->frames.unused[b_fdec] );//从unused队列取 else frame = x264_frame_new( h, b_fdec );//分配一帧空间 if( !frame ) return NULL; frame->b_last_minigop_bframe = 0; frame->i_reference_count = 1; frame->b_intra_calculated = 0; frame->b_scenecut = 1; frame->b_keyframe = 0; frame->b_corrupt = 0; frame->i_slice_count = h->param.b_sliced_threads ? h->param.i_threads : 1; memset( frame->weight, 0, sizeof(frame->weight) ); memset( frame->f_weighted_cost_delta, 0, sizeof(frame->f_weighted_cost_delta) ); return frame; }
从 源代码可以看出，如果frames.unused[]队列不为空，x264_frame_pop_unused()就调用 x264_frame_pop()从unused[]队列取1个现成的；否则就调用x264_frame_new()创建一个新的。下面看一下这两个函 数。
x264_frame_pop()用于从一个队列的尾部取出一个帧。该函数的定义位于common\frame.c，如下所示。
//从队列的尾部取出一帧 x264_frame_t *x264_frame_pop( x264_frame_t **list ) { x264_frame_t *frame; int i = 0; assert( list[0] ); while( list[i+1] ) i++; frame = list[i]; list[i] = NULL; return frame; }
从源代码中可以看出，x264_frame_pop()首先通过一个while()循环找到队列尾部的元素，然后将该元素作为返回值返回。
x264_frame_new()用于新建一个x264_frame_t。该函数的定义位于common\frame.c，如下所示。
//新建一个帧 //b_fdec：取1的时候为重建帧fdec，取0的时候为编码帧fenc static x264_frame_t *x264_frame_new( x264_t *h, int b_fdec ) { x264_frame_t *frame; //注意转换后只有3种colorspace：X264_CSP_NV12(对应YUV420),X264_CSP_NV16(对应YUV422),X264_CSP_I444(对应YUV444) int i_csp = x264_frame_internal_csp( h->param.i_csp );

从 源代码中可以看出，x264_frame_new()声明了一个frame指针，并在后续过程中对该frame的成员变量进行内存分配和注释。需要注意的 是编码帧fenc和重建帧fdec初始化的变量是不一样的——函数的输入参数b_fdec不为0的时候初始化重建帧，否则初始化编码帧。在这个函数中涉及 到一个简单的函数x264_frame_internal_csp()，用于把种类繁多的外部Colorspace转换为简单的内部 Colorspace。
x264_frame_internal_csp()
x264_frame_internal_csp()用于把外部Colorspace转换为内部Colorspace。该函数的定义如下所示。
//注意转换后只有3种内部colorspace：X264_CSP_NV12(对应YUV420),X264_CSP_NV16(对应YUV422),X264_CSP_I444(对应YUV444) static int x264_frame_internal_csp( int external_csp ) { switch( external_csp & X264_CSP_MASK ) { case X264_CSP_NV12: case X264_CSP_I420: case X264_CSP_YV12: return X264_CSP_NV12; case X264_CSP_NV16: case X264_CSP_I422: case X264_CSP_YV16: case X264_CSP_V210: return X264_CSP_NV16; case X264_CSP_I444: case X264_CSP_YV24: case X264_CSP_BGR: case X264_CSP_BGRA: case X264_CSP_RGB: return X264_CSP_I444; default: return X264_CSP_NONE; } }
x264_frame_copy_picture()用于将外部结构体x264_picture_t的数据拷贝给内部结构体x264_frame_t。该函数的定义位于common\frame.c，如下所示。
//拷贝帧数据 //src（外部结构体x264_picture_t）到dst（内部结构体x264_frame_t） int x264_frame_copy_picture( x264_t *h, x264_frame_t *dst, x264_picture_t *src ) { int i_csp = src->img.i_csp & X264_CSP_MASK; //注意转换后只有3种内部colorspace：X264_CSP_NV12(对应YUV420),X264_CSP_NV16(对应YUV422),X264_CSP_I444(对应YUV444) if( dst->i_csp != x264_frame_internal_csp( i_csp ) ) { x264_log( h, X264_LOG_ERROR, "Invalid input colorspace\n" ); return -1; } #if HIGH_BIT_DEPTH if( !(src->img.i_csp & X264_CSP_HIGH_DEPTH) ) { x264_log( h, X264_LOG_ERROR, "This build of x264 requires high depth input.

从源代码可以看出，x264_frame_t和x264_picture_t结构体中很多字段是一模一样的，x264_frame_copy_picture()只是简单地将x264_picture_t中字段的值赋值给了x264_frame_t。
x264_lookahead_put_frame()将编码帧放入Lookahead模块的队列中，等待确定帧类型。该函数的定义位于encoder\lookahead.c，如下所示。
//x264_frame_t放入x264_sync_frame_list_t队列 void x264_lookahead_put_frame( x264_t *h, x264_frame_t *frame ) { if( h->param.i_sync_lookahead ) x264_sync_frame_list_push( &h->lookahead->ifbuf, frame ); else x264_sync_frame_list_push( &h->lookahead->next, frame );//放入next队列 }
从源代码可以看出，i_sync_lookahead不为0的时候，会将编码帧放入lookahead.ifbuf[]中，否则会将编码帧放入lookahead.next[]中。放入帧的时候会调用x264_sync_frame_list_push()。
x264_sync_frame_list_push()用于向x264_sync_frame_list_t类型的队列中放入一个帧。该函数的定义位于common\frame.c，如下所示。
void x264_sync_frame_list_push( x264_sync_frame_list_t *slist, x264_frame_t *frame ) { x264_pthread_mutex_lock( &slist->mutex ); while( slist->i_size == slist->i_max_size ) x264_pthread_cond_wait( &slist->cv_empty, &slist->mutex ); //放入 slist->list[ slist->i_size++ ] = frame; x264_pthread_mutex_unlock( &slist->mutex ); x264_pthread_cond_broadcast( &slist->cv_fill ); }
从源代码中可以看出，x264_sync_frame_list_push()将frame放在了x264_sync_frame_list_t.list的尾部。
x264_lookahead_get_frames()通过lookahead模块分析帧类型。该函数的定义位于encoder\lookahead.c，如下所示。
//通过lookahead分析帧类型 void x264_lookahead_get_frames( x264_t *h ) { if( h->param.i_sync_lookahead ) { /* We have a lookahead thread, so get frames from there */ x264_pthread_mutex_lock( &h->lookahead->ofbuf.mutex ); while( !h->lookahead->ofbuf.i_size && h->lookahead->b_thread_active ) x264_pthread_cond_wait( &h->lookahead->ofbuf.cv_fill, &h->lookahead->ofbuf.mutex ); x264_lookahead_encoder_shift( h ); x264_pthread_mutex_unlock( &h->lookahead->ofbuf.mutex ); } else { /* We are not running a lookahead thread, so perform all the slicetype decide on the fly */ //currect[]必须为空，next不能为空？ if( h->frames.current[0] || !h->lookahead->next.i_size ) return; //分析lookahead->next->list帧的类型 x264_stack_align( x264_slicetype_decide, h ); //更新lookahead->last_nonb x264_lookahead_update_last_nonb( h, h->lookahead->next.list[0] ); int shift_frames = h->lookahead->next.list[0]->i_bframes + 1; //lookahead->next.list移动到lookahead->ofbuf.list x264_lookahead_shift( &h->lookahead->ofbuf, &h->lookahead->next, shift_frames ); /* For MB-tree and VBV lookahead, we have to perform propagation analysis on I-frames too. */ if( h->lookahead->b_analyse_keyframe && IS_X264_TYPE_I( h->lookahead->last_nonb->i_type ) ) x264_stack_align( x264_slicetype_analyse, h, shift_frames ); //lookahead->ofbuf.list帧移动到frames->current x264_lookahead_encoder_shift( h ); } }

通过源代码可以看出，x264_slicetype_analyse()分析了frames[]队列中的视频帧的帧类型。简单总结一下该函数的流程：
（1）如果frames[1]通过scenecut()判断为场景切换，设置为I帧，并且直接返回。
（2）如果i_bframe为0，即不使用B帧，则将所有帧都设置为P帧。
（3）如果i_bframe不为0，即使用B帧，则需要进行比较复杂的帧开销计算。这时候需要调用一帧图像开销的计算函数x264_slicetype_frame_cost()。
有关帧类型判断在代码中已经做了注释，不再详细记录，下文继续看一下x264_slicetype_frame_cost()函数。

从源代码可以看出，x264_slicetype_analyse()调用了x264_slicetype_slice_cost()来计算一个slice的开销。
x264_slicetype_slice_cost()
x264_slicetype_slice_cost()用来计算一个slice的开销。该函数的定义位于encoder\slicetype.c，如下所示。
//一个slice的开销 static void x264_slicetype_slice_cost( x264_slicetype_slice_t *s ) { x264_t *h = s->h; /* Lowres lookahead goes backwards because the MVs are used as predictors in the main encode. * This considerably improves MV prediction overall. */ /* The edge mbs seem to reduce the predictive quality of the * whole frame's score, but are needed for a spatial distribution. */ int do_edges = h->param.rc.b_mb_tree || h->param.rc.i_vbv_buffer_size || h->mb.i_mb_width <= 2 || h->mb.i_mb_height <= 2; int start_y = X264_MIN( h->i_threadslice_end - 1, h->mb.i_mb_height - 2 + do_edges ); int end_y = X264_MAX( h->i_threadslice_start, 1 - do_edges ); int start_x = h->mb.i_mb_width - 2 + do_edges; int end_x = 1 - do_edges; //逐个计算每个MB的开销 for( h->mb.i_mb_y = start_y; h->mb.i_mb_y >= end_y; h->mb.i_mb_y-- ) for( h->mb.i_mb_x = start_x; h->mb.i_mb_x >= end_x; h->mb.i_mb_x-- ) x264_slicetype_mb_cost( h, s->a, s->frames, s->p0, s->p1, s->b, s->dist_scale_factor, s->do_search, s->w, s->output_inter, s->output_intra ); }
从源代码可以看出，x264_slicetype_slice_cost()循环遍历了每一个宏块，针对每一个宏块调用了x264_slicetype_mb_cost()。
x264_slicetype_mb_cost()
x264_slicetype_mb_cost()用于计算一个宏块的编码代价。该函数的定义位于encoder\slicetype.c，如下所示。

宏块开销这里在源代码上写了比较详细的注释，不再详细记录。在这里有一点需要注意：处理的图像是经过1/2线性差值的"低分辨率（lowres）"图片（这样速度更快？），而其中宏块的大小也是以8x8而不是16x16为单位的。
x264_frame_shift()
x264_frame_shift()用于从队列头部取出1帧。该函数的定义位于common\frame.c，如下所示。
//从队列的头部取出一帧 x264_frame_t *x264_frame_shift( x264_frame_t **list ) { x264_frame_t *frame = list[0]; int i; for( i = 0; list[i]; i++ ) list[i] = list[i+1]; assert(frame); return frame; }
从源代码可以看出，x264_frame_shift()取出了list[0]并且作为返回值返回。
x264_reference_update()
x264_reference_update()用于更新参考帧队列（将重建帧fdec加入参考帧队列）。该函数的定义位于encoder\encoder.c，如下所示。
//更新参考帧队列，若为非参考B帧则不更新 //重建帧移植参考帧列表，新建一个重建帧 static inline int x264_reference_update( x264_t *h ) { //如果不是被参考的帧 if( !h->fdec->b_kept_as_ref ) { if( h->i_thread_frames > 1 ) { x264_frame_push_unused( h, h->fdec ); h->fdec = x264_frame_pop_unused( h, 1 ); if( !h->fdec ) return -1; } return 0; } /* apply mmco from previous frame. */ for( int i = 0; i < h->sh.i_mmco_command_count; i++ ) for( int j = 0; h->frames.reference[j]; j++ ) if( h->frames.reference[j]->i_poc == h->sh.mmco[i].i_poc ) x264_frame_push_unused( h, x264_frame_shift( &h->frames.reference[j] ) ); /* move frame in the buffer */ //重建帧加入参考帧列表 x264_frame_push( h->frames.reference, h->fdec ); //列表满了，则要移除1帧 if( h->frames.reference[h->sps->i_num_ref_frames] ) x264_frame_push_unused( h, x264_frame_shift( h->frames.reference ) ); //重新初始化重建帧fdec h->fdec = x264_frame_pop_unused( h, 1 ); if( !h->fdec ) return -1; return 0; }
从 源代码可以看出，如果重建帧fdec是不被参考的B帧，则直接返回；如果fdec是被参考的帧，则会调用x264_frame_push()将该帧加入 frames.reference[]队列的尾部。如果frames.reference[]已经满了，则会调用x264_frame_shift()和 x264_frame_push_unused()将frames.reference[]队列头部的帧移动到frames.unused[]队列。最后 函数还会调用x264_frame_pop_unused()获取一个新的重建帧fdec。
x264_reference_reset()
如果编码帧为IDR帧，就会调用x264_reference_reset()函数清空参考帧列表。该函数定义位于encoder\encoder.c，如下所示。
//清空所有参考帧 static inline void x264_reference_reset( x264_t *h ) { //把frames.reference[]中所有帧移动到frames.unused[] while( h->frames.reference[0] ) x264_frame_push_unused( h, x264_frame_pop( h->frames.reference ) ); h->fdec->i_poc = h->fenc->i_poc = 0; }
从源代码可以看出，x264_reference_reset()中调用x264_frame_pop()和x264_frame_push_unused()将frames.reference[]队列中的帧移动到frames.unused[]队列中。
x264_slice_init()
x264_slice_init()用于创建Slice Header，初始化其中的信息。该函数的定义位于encoder\encoder.c，如下所示。

从 源代码可以看出，x264_slice_init()调用x264_slice_header_init()完成了Slice Header "通用"的初始化工作，然后根据帧类型的不同，做了一些特殊参数的设置。下面看一下x264_slice_header_init()。
x264_slice_header_init()
x264_slice_header_init()用于对Slice Header进行初始化工作。该函数的定义如下所示。
/* Fill "default" values */ //对x264_slice_header_t进行赋值 static void x264_slice_header_init( x264_t *h, x264_slice_header_t *sh, x264_sps_t *sps, x264_pps_t *pps, int i_idr_pic_id, int i_frame, int i_qp ) { x264_param_t *param = &h->param; /* First we fill all fields */ sh->sps = sps; sh->pps = pps; sh->i_first_mb = 0; sh->i_last_mb = h->mb.i_mb_count - 1; sh->i_pps_id = pps->i_id; sh->i_frame_num = i_frame; sh->b_mbaff = PARAM_INTERLACED; sh->b_field_pic = 0; /* no field support for now */ sh->b_bottom_field = 0; /* not yet used */ sh->i_idr_pic_id = i_idr_pic_id; /* poc stuff, fixed later */ sh->i_poc = 0; sh->i_delta_poc_bottom = 0; sh->i_delta_poc[0] = 0; sh->i_delta_poc[1] = 0; sh->i_redundant_pic_cnt = 0; h->mb.b_direct_auto_write = h->param.analyse.i_direct_mv_pred == X264_DIRECT_PRED_AUTO && h->param.i_bframe && ( h->param.rc.b_stat_write || !h->param.rc.b_stat_read ); if( !h->mb.b_direct_auto_read && sh->i_type == SLICE_TYPE_B ) { if( h->fref[1][0]->i_poc_l0ref0 == h->fref[0][0]->i_poc ) { if( h->mb.b_direct_auto_write ) sh->b_direct_spatial_mv_pred = ( h->stat.i_direct_score[1] > h->stat.i_direct_score[0] ); else sh->b_direct_spatial_mv_pred = ( param->analyse.i_direct_mv_pred == X264_DIRECT_PRED_SPATIAL ); } else { h->mb.b_direct_auto_write = 0; sh->b_direct_spatial_mv_pred = 1; } } /* else b_direct_spatial_mv_pred was read from the 2pass statsfile */ sh->b_num_ref_idx_override = 0; sh->i_num_ref_idx_l0_active = 1; sh->i_num_ref_idx_l1_active = 1; sh->b_ref_pic_list_reordering[0] = h->b_ref_reorder[0]; sh->b_ref_pic_list_reordering[1] = h->b_ref_reorder[1]; /* If the ref list isn't in the default order, construct reordering header */ for( int list = 0; list < 2; list++ ) { if( sh->b_ref_pic_list_reordering[list] ) { int pred_frame_num = i_frame; for( int i = 0; i < h->i_ref[list]; i++ ) { int diff = h->fref[list][i]->i_frame_num - pred_frame_num; sh->ref_pic_list_order[list][i].idc = ( diff > 0 ); sh->ref_pic_list_order[list][i].arg = (abs(diff) - 1) & ((1 << sps->i_log2_max_frame_num) - 1); pred_frame_num = h->fref[list][i]->i_frame_num; } } } sh->i_cabac_init_idc = param->i_cabac_init_idc; sh->i_qp = SPEC_QP(i_qp); sh->i_qp_delta = sh->i_qp - pps->i_pic_init_qp; sh->b_sp_for_swidth = 0; sh->i_qs_delta = 0; int deblock_thresh = i_qp + 2 * X264_MIN(param->i_deblocking_filter_alphac0, param->i_deblocking_filter_beta); /* If effective qp <= 15, deblocking would have no effect anyway */ if( param->b_deblocking_filter && (h->mb.b_variable_qp || 15 < deblock_thresh ) ) sh->i_disable_deblocking_filter_idc = param->b_sliced_threads ? 2 : 0; else sh->i_disable_deblocking_filter_idc = 1; sh->i_alpha_c0_offset = param->i_deblocking_filter_alphac0 << 1; sh->i_beta_offset = param->i_deblocking_filter_beta << 1; }
可以看出x264_slice_header_init()对x264_slice_header_t结构体的成员变量进行了赋值。
x264_slices_write()
编码数据（最关键的步骤）。其中调用了x264_slice_write()完成了编码的工作（注意"x264_slices_write()"和"x264_slice_write()"名字差了一个"s"）。
//真正的编码——编码1个图像帧 //注意"slice"后面有一个"s" //它其中又调用了一个x264_slice_write() //这一点要区分开 static void *x264_slices_write( x264_t *h ) { int i_slice_num = 0; int last_thread_mb = h->sh.i_last_mb; /* init stats */ memset( &h->stat.frame, 0, sizeof(h->stat.frame) ); h->mb.b_reencode_mb = 0; //循环每一个slice（一幅图像可以由多个Slice构成） while( h->sh.i_first_mb + SLICE_MBAFF*h->mb.i_mb_stride <= last_thread_mb ) { h->sh.i_last_mb = last_thread_mb; if( !i_slice_num || !x264_frame_new_slice( h, h->fdec ) ) { if( h->param.i_slice_max_mbs ) { if( SLICE_MBAFF ) { // convert first to mbaff form, add slice-max-mbs, then convert back to normal form int last_mbaff = 2*(h->sh.i_first_mb % h->mb.i_mb_width) + h->mb.i_mb_width*(h->sh.i_first_mb / h->mb.i_mb_width) + h->param.i_slice_max_mbs - 1; int last_x = (last_mbaff % (2*h->mb.i_mb_width))/2; int last_y = (last_mbaff / (2*h->mb.i_mb_width))*2 + 1; h->sh.i_last_mb = last_x + h->mb.i_mb_stride*last_y; } else { h->sh.i_last_mb = h->sh.i_first_mb + h->param.i_slice_max_mbs - 1; if( h->sh.i_last_mb < last_thread_mb && last_thread_mb - h->sh.i_last_mb < h->param.i_slice_min_mbs ) h->sh.i_last_mb = last_thread_mb - h->param.i_slice_min_mbs; } i_slice_num++; } else if( h->param.i_slice_count && !h->param.b_sliced_threads ) { int height = h->mb.i_mb_height >> PARAM_INTERLACED; int width = h->mb.i_mb_width << PARAM_INTERLACED; i_slice_num++; h->sh.i_last_mb = (height * i_slice_num + h->param.i_slice_count/2) / h->param.i_slice_count * width - 1; } } h->sh.i_last_mb = X264_MIN( h->sh.i_last_mb, last_thread_mb ); //真正的编码——编码1个Slice //x264_stack_align()应该是平台优化过程中内存对齐的工作 //实际上就是调用x264_slice_write() if( x264_stack_align( x264_slice_write, h ) ) goto fail; //注意这里对i_first_mb进行了赋值 h->sh.i_first_mb = h->sh.i_last_mb + 1; // if i_first_mb is not the last mb in a row then go to the next mb in MBAFF order if( SLICE_MBAFF && h->sh.i_first_mb % h->mb.i_mb_width ) h->sh.i_first_mb -= h->mb.i_mb_stride; } return (void *)0; fail: /* Tell other threads we're done, so they wouldn't wait for it */ if( h->param.b_sliced_threads ) x264_threadslice_cond_broadcast( h, 2 ); return (void *)-1; }
在 这里需要注意，x264_slices_write()调用了x264_slice_write()。其中x264_slices_write()的单位 为帧，而x264_slice_write()的单位为Slice。最常见的情况下一个帧里面只有一个Slice，但是也有可能一个帧里面有多个 Slice。
x264_slice_write()是完成编码工作的函数。该函数中包含了去块效应滤波，运动估计，宏块编码，熵编码等模块，它的调用结构大致如下图所示。
本文暂不分析x264_slice_write()函数。从下一篇文章开始将会对该函数进行详细的分析。
x264_encoder_frame_end()
x264_encoder_frame_end()用于在编码结束后做一些后续处理，例如封装NALU（加上起始码），释放一些中间变量，记录一些统计信息等。该函数的定义位于encoder\encoder.c，如下所示。
//结束的时候做一些处理，记录一些统计信息 //pp_nal：输出的NALU //pic_out：输出的重建帧 static int x264_encoder_frame_end( x264_t *h, x264_t *thread_current, x264_nal_t **pp_nal, int *pi_nal, x264_picture_t *pic_out ) { char psz_message[80];

从 源代码可以看出，x264_encoder_frame_end()中大部分代码用于把统计信息记录到x264_t的stat中。此外做了一些后续处理： 调用了x264_encoder_encapsulate_nals()封装NALU（添加起始码），调用 x264_frame_push_unused()将fenc重新放回frames.unused[]队列，并且调用 x264_ratecontrol_end()结束码率控制。
x264_encoder_encapsulate_nals()
x264_encoder_encapsulate_nals()用于封装一帧数据对应的NALU，其代码如下所示。

从源代码中可以看出，x264_encoder_encapsulate_nals()调用了另外一个函数x264_nal_encode()逐个给一帧数据中的各个NALU添加起始码以及NALU Header等。
x264_nal_encode()
x264_nal_encode()用于给NALU添加起始码以及NALU Header等。该函数的定义位于common\bitstream.c，如下所示。
/**************************************************************************** * x264_nal_encode: ****************************************************************************/ //添加起始码 void x264_nal_encode( x264_t *h, uint8_t *dst, x264_nal_t *nal ) { uint8_t *src = nal->p_payload; uint8_t *end = nal->p_payload + nal->i_payload; uint8_t *orig_dst = dst; //起始码 ============================================ //annexb格式，起始码为0x00000001 if( h->param.b_annexb ) { if( nal->b_long_startcode ) *dst++ = 0x00; *dst++ = 0x00; *dst++ = 0x00; *dst++ = 0x01; } else /* save room for size later */ dst += 4;//mp4格式 //NALU Header ======================================= /* nal header */ *dst++ = ( 0x00 << 7 ) | ( nal->i_ref_idc << 5 ) | nal->i_type; dst = h->bsf.nal_escape( dst, src, end ); int size = (dst - orig_dst) - 4; /* Write the size header for mp4/etc */ //重新回到起始码的位置，写入mp4格式的起始码（size大小，不含起始码） if( !h->param.b_annexb ) { /* Size doesn't include the size of the header we're writing now. */ orig_dst[0] = size>>24; orig_dst[1] = size>>16; orig_dst[2] = size>> 8; orig_dst[3] = size>> 0; } //NALU负载大小，包含起始码 nal->i_payload = size+4; nal->p_payload = orig_dst; x264_emms(); }
从源代码可以看出，x264_nal_encode()给NALU数据添加了起始码以及NALU Header。在这里简单总结一下起始码的添加过程。
H.264码流有两种格式：
（1）annexb模式（传统模式）。这种模式下每个NALU包含起始码0x00000001；而且SPS、PPS存储在ES码流中。常见的H.264裸流就是属于这种格式。
（2）mp4模式。这种模式下每个NALU不包含起始码，原本存储起始码前4个字节存储的是这个NALU的长度（不包含前4字节）；而且SPS、PPS被单独放在容器的其他位置上。这种H.264一般存储在某些容器中，例如MP4中。
从源代码中可以看出，x264_nal_encode()根据H.264码流格式的不同分成两种情况给NALU添加起始码：
（1）annexb模式下，在每个NALU前面添加0x00000001。
（2）mp4模式下，先计算NALU的长度（不包含前4字节），再将长度信息写入NALU前面的4个字节
