Older implementations used an enslavement, considering * that if we're late when reading an I picture, we will decode one frame * less. It had a tendancy to derive, and wasn't responsive enough, which * would have caused trouble with the stream control stuff. * * 1. Structure of a picture stream * ============================= * Between 2 I's, we have for instance : * I B P B P B P B P B P B I * t0 t1 t2 t3 t4 t5 t6 t7 t8 t9 t10 t11 t12 * Please bear in mind that B's and IP's will be inverted when displaying * (decoding order != presentation order). Thus, t1 < t0. * * 2. Definitions * =========== * t[0..12] : Presentation timestamps of pictures 0..12. * t : Current timestamp, at the moment of the decoding. * T : Picture period, T = 1/frame_rate. * tau[I,P,B] : Mean time to decode an [I,P,B] picture. * tauYUV : Mean time to render a picture (given by the video_output). * tau�[I,P,B] = 2 * tau[I,P,B] + tauYUV * : Mean time + typical difference (estimated to tau/2, that * needs to be confirmed) + render time. * DELTA : A given error margin. * * 3. General considerations * ====================== * We define three types of machines : * 14T > tauI : machines capable of decoding all I pictures * 2T > tauP : machines capable of decoding all P pictures * T > tauB : machines capable of decoding all B pictures * * 4. Decoding of an I picture * ======================== * On fast machines, we decode all I's. * Otherwise : * We can decode an I picture if we simply have enough time to decode it * before displaying : * t0 - t > tau�I + DELTA * * 5. Decoding of a P picture * ======================= * On fast machines, we decode all P's. * Otherwise : * First criterion : have time to decode it. * t2 - t > tau�P + DELTA * * Second criterion : it shouldn't prevent us from displaying the forthcoming * I picture, which is more important. * t12 - t > tau�P + tau�I + DELTA * * 6. Decoding of a B picture * ======================= * On fast machines, we decode all B's. Otherwise : * t1 - t > tau�B + DELTA * Since the next displayed I or P is already decoded, we don't have to * worry about it. * * I hope you will have a pleasant flight and do not forget your life * jacket. * --Meuuh (2000-12-29) */ /***************************************************************************** * Preamble *****************************************************************************/ #include "defs.h" #include <string.h> /* memcpy(), memset() */ #include "common.h" #include "intf_msg.h" #include "threads.h" #include "mtime.h" #include "video.h" #include "video_output.h" #include "stream_control.h" #include "input_ext-dec.h" #include "vdec_ext-plugins.h" #include "vpar_pool.h" #include "video_parser.h" #include "modules_export.h" /* * Local prototypes */ static int SynchroType( void ); /* Error margins */ #define DELTA (int)(0.075*CLOCK_FREQ) #define DEFAULT_NB_P 5 #define DEFAULT_NB_B 1 /***************************************************************************** * vpar_SynchroInit : You know what ?
