Hello Irui,
like v1 and v2, also this version of the series will crash the kernel when
trying to encode.

Before pushing the next series, you shall ensure that it is not crashing
the entire kernel, hence, please test your code with gstreamer.


Please use the following pipeline to test:

gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=100 ! v4l2h264enc ! queue ! h264parse !
qtmux ! filesink location=test.mov


Regards,
Angelo
