FFMpeg presets for H.264 streaming

[Horacio Sanson-3]

Just wondering what would be a good preset to encode h.264 files
adapted for streaming over the Internet. Something that produces an
extended profile file with support for data partioning and slices.


regards,
Horacio

Extended profile has basically never been used by anyone for any
serious purpose.  I doubt there exists any support outside of toy
research encoders and the official reference, nevermind the fact that
no practical decoder supports it either.

Thanks for the reply... so I can forget about data partitions for
network loss resilience. What about slices?? is there a way to set the
slice maximum size (i.e. MTU size) or at least force ffmpeg to
generate at least two slices per video frame?

Horacio

The encoder is x264, and no, x264 does not support multiple slices.

If you're expecting loss over your connection, the proper solution is
to implement some sort of FEC.
