H264的level的计算方法

比如分辨率: 1920*1080, 参考帧率: 60的h264码流是哪个level呢

H.264的宏块大小为16×16 in H.264,每帧宏块的个数为分辨率除以16
max-fs = ceil( width / 16.0 ) * ceil( height / 16.0 )

计算得:8100

每秒宏块数量为每帧宏块数乘以帧率.
max-mbps =max-fs*参考帧率

计算得:486000

参考ITU. p. 324. "Recommendation ITU-T H.264"表格:

Levels with maximum property values [39]

Level	Max. decoding speed		Max. frame size		Max. video bit rate for video coding layer (VCL) kbit/s (Baseline, Extended and Main Profiles)	Examples for high resolution @ highest frame rate Toggle additional details

根据每秒宏块数,来查对应表格.
Level 4.1
VBV maximum bit rate [1000bits/s] 50Mbit/s
Macroblocks/s 245760
Resolution and frame rate 1920×1088@30 or 2Kx1K@30

Level 4.2
VBV maximum bit rate [1000bits/s] 50Mbit/s
Macroblocks/s 522240
Resolution and frame rate 1920×1088@60 or or 2Kx1K@60

可见486000在Level 4.1和Level 4.2之间,所以Level是4.2, Level的确定原则是找<=的关系.
