Hi list,
I've uploaded the final patch version of the h.264 NALU fill removal for VDR 1.7.16.
The patch deletes NALU fill data from h.264 streams while recording. The overall stream structure isn't modified, only complete TS packets of NALU fill data are dropped. On HD TV channels that use fixed video bandwidth, this can save 40-60% file size without loosing any data.
The patch must be enabled at settings -> recordings, and can be activated/deactivated individually for each recording by adding the keyword NALUDUMP or NALUKEEP to the recording name.
Also available is the standalone tool that processes ts files. The new version uses the same buffering as the patch, and should otherwise produce identical output compared to the 0.0.1 tool.
