This is the basic pipeline that I have:

        BGRA frames -> sws_scale() -> YUV frames -> avcodec_encode_video2() -> 
av_interleaved_write_frame()

.. and this works perfectly with x264 and most of the time with 
h264_videotoolbox.  The issue with h264_videotoolbox happens when I try to 
stream at 854x480.  From looking at the output, it appears that someone along 
the way is not happy with width not being a multiple of 16.  There is a very 
clear shift/wrapping of pixels.  

As an experiment, I changed my use of av_image_fill_arrays() to align on 16 
bytes (with a sufficiently larger buffer) and the resulting image is improved 
but still not correct.  The basic shift is gone and the image is legible but 
the colors are off and I can see an artifact over the image.

Given that x264 works and h264_videotoolbox doesn't, I’m tempted to point 
fingers at either VTCompressionSession or CVPixelBuffers + YUV, which would 
explain why I want to try AV_PIX_FMT_VIDEOTOOLBOX.  I’ve read pretty much 
everything I can find on this but I cant find a single mention of 
16-byte-multiple widths or strides.

Any idea how to go about debugging this?
