#5232 closed defect (duplicate)

ffmpeg users wrong reference frames if -level is specified without a dot

Reported by: Marcus Owned by:
Priority: normal Component: avcodec
Version: git-master Keywords: libx264
Cc: Blocked By:
Blocking: Reproduced by developer: no
Analyzed by developer: no

Description

When encoding to x264, the user can supply the x264 level information
in two ways:

-level 41 (Without dot)
-level 4.1 (Using a dot between the numbers)

In both cases, the encoded video shows the level as 4.1, but only in the second case the reference frames are correctly computed.

How to reproduce:

Thank you for the feedback. I did not realized that the #3307 was reopened with the 'dot' issue.
