WPP and Tiles encoding

[sdancer75]

In the parameteres list the kvazaar encoder says this

Wavefront parallel processing.
Enabling tiles automatically disables WPP. To
enable WPP with tiles, re-enable it after
enabling tiles. [enabled]

This means the encoder is able to do Parallel encoding using WPP and Tiles simultaneously ? I thought this was an incompatible mode.

That is true as far as I know. This is pretty much an experimental feature at the moment. I recall there was a (tiny) chance that a profile could have been added to HEVC that allows the co-operation of tiles and wpp. Parallelism in Kvazaar was implemented in a way that required practically no changes to enable this feature, so it was. Why it isn't marked as an experimental or non-standard feature on the help, I do not know.

Thanks !
