x264 devices settings

Ok,

This thread is a new start to sum up all informations about devices settings for x264. If you have some extra infos, please share them. Hence, we can have a better spot and optimize our presets...

Spreadsheet is available here. Not complete yet. I'll update as soon as I can.

Comments & discussion are welcome.

The iPhone and the Apple TV does not support high profile (8x8dct = no)

The Archos 605 supports CABAC, and at least 3 b-frames, all partitions. Maximum resolution is 720x576

The Archos 5 supports CABAC, 5 b-frames, 8 ref frame, all partition, and b-pyramid. Maximum resolution is 720x576

The Archos 5 Android can have a much higher VBV. I would estimate at least 10000 for 1280x720 (max resolution).

The level tag doesn't matter for Archos units, it will play all levels, including 5.1.

Preliminary test shows it supports at least 3 b and ref frames, all partition, and b-pyramid. I'll do a much more thorough test when I get the unit.

The PSP can support 16 b-frames, but only 3 ref frames. No b-pyramid.

Why is trellis in there? It doesn't affect decoding...

First half wrong, second totally wrong.

The iPhone supports high profile?? That's unheard of.

I was pretty damn shocked when I heard it supported CABAC and b-frames.

3GS plays High L4.1, but only if you bypass iTunes.

Apple TV plays High Profile just fine.

Also, every piece of information involving b-pyramid is inherently wrong because b-pyramid is going to be completely overhauled anyways.

So this new b-pyramid will render all hardware decoder useless?

In the same way that a new brand of car renders all the roads useless, yes.

So what does "inherently wrong" mean in this context?

PS3 can do Level 4.2.

Apple TV has a maximum framerate of 24fps and a maximum resolution of 1280x720.

@Kurtnoise

The Archos 5's VBV should be 5000, not 10000.

Zune HD doesn't support main profile, only baseline + b frames.

Also, can you make the spreadsheet a little narrower by removing blank columns? Even on my 22'' monitor I have to scroll sideways. Many of the cells can be smaller too.

Am I missing something?

baseline + b-frames? Is it possible to use b-frames with x264 when you limit the profile to baseline?

Does partitions affect decoding? Even an iPod Touch can play all partitions.

For PSP resolutions:
>=firmware 3.30
- arbitrary resolutions up to 480x272
- also supports 720x480 and 352x480
>=firmware 5.00
- adds support for 640x480
>=firmware 5.50
- support for 720x576 added (though not officially stated)

--partitions all supported. Can't remember VBV - I believe Sony has put a restriction on this as there was a hack to raise the maximum bitrate to 16384kbps (but still don't know the VBV params).
I think baseline@L2.1 is also supported, but haven't verified.

For PS3 lowres encodes (720x576p25 - DVD conversion to mp4) 8 refs and 16 bframes are playable. I tried with 9 refs too and got picture freezes

No, so don't tell x264 to use baseline. Disable the high and main profile features except for B-frames.

What about the GOP length? It came up in the Blu-ray thread.
Has anyone ever tested longer GOPs on hardware players?
