Gwenole Beauchesne 8dd93e9c8a decoder: h264: add support for missing first field.
Try to identify missing first fields too, thus disregarding any
intermediate gaps in frames. We also assume that we keep the same
field sequence, i.e. if previous frames were in top-field-first
(TFF) order, then so are subsequent frames.

Note that insertion of dummy first fields need to operate in two
steps: (i) create the original first field that the current field
will inherit from, and (ii) submit that field into the DPB prior
to initializing the current (other) field POC values but after any
reference flag was set. i.e. copy reference flags from the child
(other field) to the parent (first field).

Overview
--------

gstreamer-vaapi consists in a collection of VA-API based plugins for
GStreamer and helper libraries.

  * `vaapidecode' is used to decode JPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4:2, H.264 AVC,
    H.264 MVC, VP8, VC-1, WMV3 videos to VA surfaces, depending on the
    underlying hardware capabilities. This plugin is also able to
    implicitly download the decoded surface to raw YUV buffers.

  * `vaapiencode_<CODEC>' is used to encode into MPEG-2, H.264 AVC,
    H.264 MVC, JPEG, VP8 videos, depending on the actual value of
    <CODEC> (mpeg2, h264, etc.). By default, raw format bitstreams
    are generated, so the result may be piped to a muxer.
    e.g. qtmux for MP4 containers.

  * `vaapipostproc' is used to filter VA surfaces, for e.g. scaling,
    deinterlacing (bob, motion-adaptive, motion-compensated), noise
    reduction or sharpening. This plugin is also used to upload raw
    YUV pixels into VA surfaces.

  * `vaapisink' is used to render VA surfaces to an X11 or Wayland
    display. This plugin also features a "headless" mode (DRM) more
    suited to remote transcode scenarios, with faster throughput.


Features
--------

  * VA-API support from 0.29 to 0.37
  * JPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264 AVC, H.264 MVC, VP8 and VC-1 ad-hoc decoders
  * MPEG-2, H.264 AVC,H.264 MVC, JPEG and VP8 ad-hoc encoders
  * OpenGL rendering through VA/GLX or GLX texture-from-pixmap + FBO
  * Support for the Wayland display server
  * Support for headless decode pipelines with VA/DRM
  * Support for major HW video decoding solutions on Linux (AMD, Intel, NVIDIA)
  * Support for HW video encoding on Intel HD Graphics hardware
  * Support for VA Video Processing APIs (VA/VPP)
    - Scaling and color conversion
    - Image enhancement filters: Sharpening, Noise Reduction
    - Advanced deinterlacing: Motion-Adaptive, Motion-Compensated


Requirements
------------

Software requirements

  * GStreamer 1.2.x (up to including GStreamer 1.6):
      libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.28)
      libgstreamer1.0-dev (>= 1.2.0)
      libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev (>= 1.2.0)
      libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev (>= 1.2.0)

  * Renderers:
      DRM: libva-dev (>= 1.1.0), libdrm-dev, libudev-dev
      X11: libva-dev (>= 1.0.1)
      GLX: libva-dev (>= 1.0.3)
      Wayland: libva-dev (>= 1.1.0), libwayland-dev (>= 0.95.0)

Hardware requirements

  * AMD platforms with UVD2 (XvBA supported)
  * Intel Eaglelake (G45)
  * Intel Ironlake, Sandybridge, Ivybridge, Haswell and Broadwell (HD Graphics)
  * Intel BayTrail
  * Intel Poulsbo (US15W)
  * Intel Medfield or Cedar Trail
  * NVIDIA platforms with PureVideo (VDPAU supported)


Usage
-----

  VA elements are automatically plugged into GStreamer pipelines. So,
  using playbin should work as is.
  However, here are a few alternate pipelines that could be manually
  constructed.

  * Play an H.264 video with an MP4 container in fullscreen mode
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/video.mp4 ! \
      qtdemux ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink fullscreen=true

  * Play a raw MPEG-2 interlaced stream
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/mpeg2.bits ! \
      mpegvideoparse ! vaapidecode ! vaapipostproc ! vaapisink

  * Convert from one pixel format to another, while also downscaling
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/raw_video.yuv ! \
      videoparse format=yuy2 width=1280 height=720 ! \
      vaapipostproc format=nv12 height=480 ! vaapisink

  * Encode a 1080p stream in raw I420 format into H.264
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/raw_video.yuv ! \
      videoparse format=i420 width=1920 height=1080 framerate=30/1 ! \
      vaapiencode_h264 rate-control=cbr tune=high-compression ! \
      qtmux ! filesink location=/path/to/encoded_video.mp4
