This patch improves the accuracy of frame rate estimation by using a
larger, 1 second window. It also more quickly adapts to step changes
in the input frame rate (ie 30fps to 15fps)

This is to reflect the RD improvement in the encoder. The change has a

The variable is introduced in commit 2e53e9e53 to make more use of

In NEWMV mode, currently, full search is used as the refining search
after n-step search. By replacing it with an iterative diamond search
of radius 1 largely reduced the computation complexity, but still
maintained the same encoding quality since the refining search is
done for every macroblock instead of only a small precentage of
macroblocks while using full search.
Tests on the test set showed a 3.4% encoding speed increase with none
psnr & ssim loss.

Paul pointed out that the pointer to the gf_active_flags is not being

The existing emulation of posix semaphores on Windows uses SetEvent()
and WaitForSingleObject(), which implements a binary semaphore, not a
counting semaphore as implemented by posix. This causes deadlock when
used with the expected posix semantics. Instead, this patch uses the
CreateSemaphore() and ReleaseSemaphore() calls (introduced in Windows
2000) which have the expected behavior.
This patch also reverts commit eb16f00, which split a semaphore that
was being used with counting semantics into two binary semaphores.
That commit is unnecessary with corrected emulation.

Changed 8-neighbor searching to 4-neighour searching, and continued
searching until the center point is the best match.
Test on test set showed 1.3% encoding speed improvement as well as
0.1% PSNR and SSIM improvement at speed=-5 (rt mode).
Will continue to improve it.

Combine calc_iframe_target_size, previously only used for forced
keyframes, with calc_auto_iframe_target_size, which handled most
keyframes.
Change-Id: I227051361cf46727caa5cd2b155752d2c9789364
This is a first step in cleaning up the redundancies between
vp8_calc_{auto_,}iframe_target_size. The pick_frame_size() function is
moved to ratectrl.c, and made to be the primary interface. This means
that the various calc_*_target_size functions can be made private.

Rather than using a default size of 1/2 or 3/2 seconds for the first
frame, use a fraction of the initial buffer level to give the
application some control.
This will likely undergo further refinement as size limits on key
frames are currently under discussion on codec-devel@, but this gives
much better behavior for small buffer sizes as a starting point.

Went through the code and fixed it. Verified on Windows.

Current code relies on pushing rbp to the stack to get 16 byte
alignment. This broke when rbp wasn't pushed
(vp8/encoder/x86/sad_sse3.asm). Work around this by using unaligned
memory accesses. Revisit this and the offsets in
vp8/encoder/x86/sad_sse3.asm in another change to SAVE_XMM.

This patch changes the rc_undershoot_pct and rc_overshoot_pct controls
to set the "aggressiveness" of rate adaptation, by limiting the
amount of difference between the target buffer level and the actual
buffer level which is applied to the target frame rate for this frame.
This patch was initially provided by arosenberg at logitech.com as
an attachment to issue #270. It was modified to separate these controls
from the other unrelated modifications in that patch, as well as to
use the pre-existing variables rather than introducing new ones.

MV sad cost error is only used in full-pixel motion search,
