Description Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 2011-06-10 08:13:00 UTC 
This is a mirror of the 651320 bug against ffenc_mpeg4, however I noticed that xvidenc actually got a lot more profiles set as properties so in terms of creating the profiles for mpeg4 video xvidenc is probably the best starting point and then moving onto enabling what can be enabled or ffenc_mpeg4.
Comment 1 David Schleef 2011-06-12 01:10:58 UTC 
xvidenc confuses profiles and levels.  There are really only SP, ASP, ARTS, and unconstrained.
Comment 2 Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 2011-11-30 14:05:56 UTC 
<slomo> cschalle: and xvidenc doesn't negotiate the profile via caps, it only has a property for that
 cschalle: so... something should still be done there and actually you're right, the profile needs to be on the caps then ;)
 cschalle: could you update the bug? it should say that xvidenc should put profile/level into the caps and that it should negotiate the profile with downstream via caps instead of a property
<cschalle> slomo, yes, to me this is just like the aac encoders, which also used to use properties, but we added it also to the caps
<slomo> cschalle: yes, it's exactly the same... and the same as for x264enc

    xvidenc: Add profile/level to the caps and negotiate them with downstream
    
    Still keep the profile property to select profile/level if there
    are no downstream constraints.
    
    Fixes bug #652261.
