[Ffmpeg-devel] 640x480 iPod Baseline Low Complexity Profile

Hi,

How did you come to this conclusion ? Do you have any paper / link / 
reference stating what Apple considers to be Baseline "Low Complexity" ? 
I ask, because the 5.5g file I analysed yesterday had only one ref, but 
also no deblocking, no p8x8, no p4x4 and no i4x4. Deblocking has quite a 
major impact on the decoding speed, so does 8x8 & 4x4, while the number 
of references mainly impact memory consumption.

So I wonder, is the number of references the only restriction ?

Regards,

Mathieu
