[FFmpeg-devel] NV12 Tile format conversion

[Sunny Shukla]

Hi,

NV12 Tile format conversion to NV12 and yuv420p support is added. NV12 Tile format conversion support is only added for input format not as output format.

The algorithm used is referenced from https://github.com/ssshukla26/NV12Tile-To-NV12-Conversion. It is checked with 480p,720p, 1080p and other resolutions. Videos both in landscape and portrait mode are been able to be converted from nv12 tiled to nv12 format using this algorithm. The input file must be a yuv file in NV12Tile format, one can download such video with 480p resolution from this https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5dp19Ic3reULWJIS0JTRFVZbjg link. See instructions file under examples folder for more details in the github link.

For memory layout please refer https://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis-old/re36.html

The need to incorporate this format conversion is to make sure that when certain hardware decoders outputs
the data in nv12 tiled format can also be directly displayed in nv12 or yuv420p format using ffmpeg command line
and APIs.

P.S. : This patch is applied on commit id "d4c1cc2b876af1e8f1a8ca258bf092b3baa31245" of ffmpeg release 3.2 (latest release).

Regards,
Sunny.
