Enforce bit depth promised by --input-bitdepth to avoid crashes when
larger values are provided.
Do endianess byte swap for all bytes when the buffer gets extended
to multiple of 8 pixels, and not just the number of input pixels.
Don't swap bytes on a little-endian system.
- Reduce indentation to 6 spaces
- Word wrap everything to under 80 characters
- Remove defaults from options covered by presets
- Add a dash in front of argument descriptions
- Add --(no-) to names of parameters that accept it and remove mention
of enabling or disabling
- Add executable and scripts as a dependancy to make docs
This value is not represented in the HEVC bitstream, which is why it
was not set previously. FFmpeg sets and needs it however, so make the
CLI set it as well to make sure we handle it correctly.
The rd-complexity of slow presets is better with a less agressive GOP.
Adding the GOP as part of the preset improved BDRate enough, that it
didn't make sense anymore to have a veryslow target the best BDRate.
Instead, push that responsibility to placebo by making it a little bit
faster.
GOPs with depth 1 had the same structure as those with depth 2:
g4d3t1 = 3 2 3 1
g4d2t1 = 2 2 2 1
g4d1t1 = 2 2 2 1
It now results in the correct:
g4d1t1 = 1 1 1 1
Coding inter without GOP of any kind really isn't a very sensible
default. Defaulting to B-GOP of some kind would be more better,
but lp-gop is more robust for now.
Use the vectorized general SSE41 inter SAD in AVX reg_sad for shapes
for which we don't have AVX versions yet.
Also improves speed of --smp and --amp a lot. Got a 1.25x speedup for:
--preset=ultrafast -q 27 --gop=lp-g4d3r3t1 --me-early-termination=on --rd=1 --pu-depth-inter=1-3 --smp --amp

Add implementations for these functions that process the image line by
line instead of using the 16x16 function to process block by block.
The 32x32 is around 30% faster, and 64x64 is around 15% faster,
on Haswell.

Arrange the decision tree such that there is only 3 branches on the
most common paths and the more likely branch is always fall-through.
A profile guided optimization pass would probably do something similar.
A lot of time is being taken up by this function on ultrafast, and it
doesn't do a very good job. This change aims to both simplify the
logic and make the estimate better.
The logic is simplified by using a look up for the step mvd bit cost
step function instead of mimicking the binarization process. The
estimation is made better by checking fractional cabac bit costs.
The new function returns the same results as
kvz_get_mvd_coding_cost_cabac, but is also faster than the old
function.
Write bitstream without chroma when encoding with --input-format=P400.
This reduces bitstream size by 0-1 %, compared to coding monochrome in
420 format, and speeds up encoding slightly due to not processing
chroma.
