Hi,

I was confused the source and destination.
I agree with you mostly.

In my opinion, the way how to notify the resolution change is return value
of the DQBUF.
But if we use DQBUF, there are some problem as below.

DQBUF means that the buffer has been operated already and application will
have the buffer's right.

Although application new QBUF destination buffers after changing
destination(CAPTURE),
driver cannot re-decode the I-frame which has the resolution change
information
because the I-frame has been dequeued already.
If application re-QBUF the buffer, the buffer sequence will be out of order
as below.
Original: I -> B -> B .....
Out of order: missed -> B -> B -> I .....

How do you think about the following sequence.

1. getting the resolution change from the MFC H/W

2. copy the buffer to driver's internal memory.

3. send the result with DQBUF

4. changing destination buffers by application

5. QBUF for new destination buffers

6. in the first vb2_try_schedule
  re-decode the driver's internal buffer instead of the B frame.

7. in the next vb2_try_schedule
  decode the B frame in order.

I also welcome your comments.

Best regards,
