Subject: [PATCH RFC 11/12] media: rockchip: rkvenc: Offer VBR for H.264 encoding
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 10:08:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110-rkvenc-v1-11-ea8b47122d8c@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110-rkvenc-v1-0-ea8b47122d8c@gmail.com>

From: Arun Iyengar <aiyengar1990@gmail.com>

The H.264 encode core has a variable bitrate mode now. Offer it in
V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE and add V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_PEAK,
which the core reads for it (default 20 Mbit/s, twice the default
bitrate), and hand the size target of the variable bitrate pictures to the
hardware row rate control as for constant bitrate.
