View Full Version : x264 and Closed GOP's

Does x264 encode closed GOP's? I don't see any way to explicitly flag the encoder to produce strict closed GOP's, but maybe I'm missing something.

The issue is creating http live streaming content and segmenting the streams. tsmuxer is forcing minimum segment lengths of 2.5x the GOP length. So 2 second GOP's can only be split to 5 second segments. If the GOP's were strict, I should be able to get away with a 1:1 GOP to segment length.

Am I missing something?

x264 doesn't support open GOP.

So it's closed GOP. Thanks for the response.

Any idea why tsmuxer is unable to use split intervals less than 2.5x GOP length?
