When the DM36x H.264 encoder is set at a relatively large bitrate
(e.g. 1-10 Mbits/second for QVGA), the encoder frequently
fails with extended error 0x8010 (IH264VENC_ERR_PROCESS_CALL).
The error has been seen with encoder versions 2.20.00.005
and 2.30.00.01.
The error frequently occurs when the scene content changes from
complex moving objects to a blank single color.
The higher you set the bitrate, the more frequently the error occurs.
Can you confirm this issue?
My parameters are given below for 360x240 resolution at 10Mbits/second,
it shows the issue frequently.
