OpenH264

目前最常用的264工程师x264；

最近有又有一个开源工程OpenH264，WebRTC再用用，具体工程具体没有详细研究；

编译完成工程后，用h264dec.exe命令行测试解码x264编码的文件，解码后正常显示，也就是说这两个工程编码的格式应该相互兼容；

地址：http://www.openh264.org/faq.html

提供C语言接口和C++接口；

目前网络可以找到的文档相对较少，大概浏览了一下这个工程，觉得还不错；

工程编译Win7：

我在win7上简单编译了一些工程，没有特别需要配置的地方，

1：下载源码，解压；

2：msys进入解压目录，直接执行 make 命令；

3：几分钟后编译完成，在解压目录生成相关exe文件，几个.a文件，和一个libopenh264.dll文件；

4：在目录openh264-1.0.0\codec\build\win32\enc下有VS工程，打开可以编译出控制台程序和相关dll文件夹；生成的文件在\openh264-1.0.0\bin\win32\Debug；

当然其它平台也有相关的工程IDE文件；

5：还有一个方法：进入目录\openh264-1.0.0\testbin，用管理员权限执行 AutoBuild_Windows_VS2008.bat 文件，注意修改文件中的VS路径与计算机上的安装路径一直；

然后编译就可以了，文件在openh264-1.0.0\bin\win32目录中，有debug和release两个文件夹；

示例目录：

OpenSource\openh264\test   //这个目录下有相关的一些示例；

也可以 OpenSource\openh264\codec\build\win32\enc 通过VC打开这个目录，查看更加完整的例子，这个是exe实力，更全面；

以下是工程中的说明文档：

OpenH264
========
OpenH264 is a codec library which supports H.264 encoding and decoding. It is suitable for use in real time applications such as WebRTC. See http://www.openh264.org/ for more details.


Encoder Features
----------------
- Constrained Baseline Profile up to Level 5.2 (4096x2304)
- Arbitrary resolution, support cropping
- Rate control with adaptive quantization, or constant quantization
- Slice options: 1 slice per frame, N slices per frame, N macroblocks per slice, or N bytes per slice
- Multiple threads automatically used for multiple slices
- Temporal scalability up to 4 layers in a dyadic hierarchy
- Spatial simulcast up to 4 resolutions from a single input
- Long Term Reference (LTR) frames
- Memory Management Control Operation (MMCO)
- Reference picture list modification
- Single reference frame for inter prediction
- Multiple reference frames when using LTR and/or 3-4 temporal layers
- Periodic and on-demand Instantaneous Decoder Refresh (IDR) frame insertion
- Dynamic changes to bit rate, frame rate, and resolution
- Annex B byte stream output
- YUV 4:2:0 planar input


Decoder Features
----------------
- Constrained Baseline Profile up to Level 5.2 (4096x2304)
- Arbitrary resolution, not constrained to multiples of 16x16
- Single thread for all slices
- Long Term Reference (LTR) frames
- Memory Management Control Operation (MMCO)
- Reference picture list modification
- Multiple reference frames when specified in Sequence Parameter Set (SPS)
- Annex B byte stream input
- YUV 4:2:0 planar output
- Decoder output timing conformance
- Error concealment support with slice copy as default method


OS Support
----------
- Windows 64-bit and 32-bit
- Mac OS X 64-bit and 32-bit
- Linux 64-bit and 32-bit
- Android 32-bit
- iOS 64-bit and 32-bit (not fully tested)


Processor Support
-----------------
- Intel x86 optionally with MMX/SSE (no AVX yet, help is welcome)
- ARMv7 optionally with NEON
- Any architecture using C/C++ fallback functions


Building the Library
--------------------
NASM needed to be installed for assembly code: workable version 2.07 or above, nasm can downloaded from http://www.nasm.us/


To build the arm assembly for Windows Phone, gas-preprocessor is required. It can be downloaded from git://git.libav.org/gas-preprocessor.git


For Android Builds
------------------
To build for android platform, You need to install android sdk and ndk. You also need to export **ANDROID_SDK**/tools to PATH. On Linux, this can be done by


'export PATH=**ANDROID_SDK**/tools:$PATH'


The codec and demo can be built by


'make OS=android NDKROOT=**ANDROID_NDK** TARGET= **ANDROID_TARGET**'


Valid **ANDROID_TARGET** can be found in **ANDROID_SDK**/platforms, such as android-12.
You can also set ARCH, NDKLEVEL, GCCVERSION according to your device and NDK version.
ARCH specifies the architecture of android device. Currently only arm and x86 are supported, the default is arm.
NDKLEVEL specifies android api level, the api level can be 12-19, the default is 12.
GCCVERSION specifies which gcc in NDK is used, the default is 4.8.


By default these commands build for the armeabi-v7a ABI. To build for the other android
ABIs, add "ARCH=mips" or "ARCH=x86". To build for the older armeabi ABI (which has
armv5te as baseline), add "APP_ABI=armeabi" (ARCH=arm is implicit).


For iOS Builds
--------------
You can build the libraries and demo applications using xcode project files
located in codec/build/iOS/dec and codec/build/iOS/enc.


You can also build the libraries (but not the demo applications) using the
make based build system from the command line. Build with


'make OS=ios ARCH=**ARCH**'


Valid values for **ARCH** are the normal iOS architecture names such as
armv7, armv7s, arm64, and i386 and x86_64 for the simulator. Additionally,
one might need to add 'SDK=X.Y' to the make command line in case the default
SDK version isn't available. Another settable iOS specific parameter
is SDK_MIN, specifying the minimum deployment target for the built library.
For other details on building using make on the command line, see
'For All Platforms' below.


For Windows Builds
------------------


Our Windows builds use MinGW which can be found here - http://www.mingw.org/


To build with gcc, add the MinGW bin directory (e.g. /c/MinGW/bin) to your path and follow the 'For All Platforms' instructions below.


To build with Visual Studio you will need to set up your path to run cl.exe.  The easiest way is to start MSYS from a developer command line session - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229859(v=vs.110).aspx  If you need to do it by hand here is an example from a Windows 64bit install of VS2012:


export PATH="$PATH:/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0/VC/bin:/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0/Common7/IDE"


You will also need to set your INCLUDE and LIB paths to point to your VS and SDK installs.  Something like this, again from Win64 with VS2012 (note the use of Windows-style paths here).


export INCLUDE="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\include;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\um;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\shared"
export LIB="C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Lib\Win8\um\x86;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\lib"


Then add 'OS=msvc' to the make line of the 'For All Platforms' instructions.


For All Platforms
-------------------
From the main project directory:
'make' for automatically detecting 32/64bit and building accordingly
'make ENABLE64BIT=No' for 32bit builds
'make ENABLE64BIT=Yes' for 64bit builds
'make V=No' for a silent build (not showing the actual compiler commands)


The command line programs h264enc and h264dec will appear in the main project directory.


A shell script to run the command-line apps is in testbin/CmdLineExample.sh


Usage information can be found in testbin/CmdLineReadMe


Using the Source
----------------
codec - encoder, decoder, console (test app), build (makefile, vcproj)
build - scripts for Makefile build system.
test - GTest unittest files.
testbin - autobuild scripts, test app config files
res - yuv and bitstream test files


Known Issues
------------
See the issue tracker on https://github.com/cisco/openh264/issues
- Encoder errors when resolution exceeds 3840x2160
- Encoder errors when compressed frame size exceeds half uncompressed size
- Encoder does not support QP < 10 encoding
- Encoder does not support slice number > 35 encoding
- The result of float-point calculation in rate control will be affected by preciseness of double-typed variable on different platform
- Decoder errors when compressed frame size exceeds 1MB
- Encoder RC requires frame skipping to be enabled to hit the target bitrate,
  if frame skipping is disabled the target bitrate may be exceeded
