Select H264 Profile when encoding with MediaCodec and MTK Codec

Question

We have an Android app that encodes video into H264. On all previously tried Android devices this encodes to Baseline profile which is what I need.

On the Lenovo Yog

Answer 1

Here's a snippet of what I did in my app :

mediaFormat.setInteger("profile", 8); // Profile HIGH
mediaFormat.setInteger("level", 0x200); // Level 3.1

And here are the profile values you can choose from :

OMX_VIDEO_AVCProfileBaseline = 0x01,   /**< Baseline profile */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCProfileMain     = 0x02,   /**< Main profile */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCProfileExtended = 0x04,   /**< Extended profile */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCProfileHigh     = 0x08,   /**< High profile */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCProfileHigh10   = 0x10,   /**< High 10 profile */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCProfileHigh422  = 0x20,   /**< High 4:2:2 profile */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCProfileHigh444  = 0x40,   /**< High 4:4:4 profile */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCProfileKhronosExtensions = 0x6F000000, /**< Reserved region for introducing Khronos Standard Extensions */ 
OMX_VIDEO_AVCProfileVendorStartUnused = 0x7F000000, /**< Reserved region for introducing Vendor Extensions */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCProfileMax      = 0x7FFFFFFF  

And the levels :

OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevel1   = 0x01,     /**< Level 1 */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevel1b  = 0x02,     /**< Level 1b */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevel11  = 0x04,     /**< Level 1.1 */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevel12  = 0x08,     /**< Level 1.2 */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevel13  = 0x10,     /**< Level 1.3 */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevel2   = 0x20,     /**< Level 2 */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevel21  = 0x40,     /**< Level 2.1 */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevel22  = 0x80,     /**< Level 2.2 */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevel3   = 0x100,    /**< Level 3 */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevel31  = 0x200,    /**< Level 3.1 */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevel32  = 0x400,    /**< Level 3.2 */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevel4   = 0x800,    /**< Level 4 */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevel41  = 0x1000,   /**< Level 4.1 */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevel42  = 0x2000,   /**< Level 4.2 */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevel5   = 0x4000,   /**< Level 5 */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevel51  = 0x8000,   /**< Level 5.1 */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevelKhronosExtensions = 0x6F000000, /**< Reserved region for introducing Khronos Standard Extensions */ 
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevelVendorStartUnused = 0x7F000000, /**< Reserved region for introducing Vendor Extensions */
OMX_VIDEO_AVCLevelMax = 0x7FFFFFFF  

It's important to set both.
