[PATCH RFC 03/11] media: h264: Write the stateless encode SPS and PPS with nal_ref_idc 3

[Arun Iyengar via B4 Relay <devnull+aiyengar1990.gmail.com@kernel.org>]

From: Arun Iyengar <aiyengar1990@gmail.com>

The sequence and picture parameter set NAL units are written with
nal_ref_idc 0, which ITU-T H.264 section 7.4.1 forbids: "nal_ref_idc
shall not be equal to 0 for sequence parameter set or sequence parameter
set extension or subset sequence parameter set or picture parameter set
NAL units". FFmpeg's H.264 probe rejects such streams (an Annex B file
from the encoder is "detected only with low score of 1"), and stricter
decoders may drop the parameter sets.

Write them with nal_ref_idc 3, as other encoders do. Access unit
delimiters keep 0, which the specification requires for them.
