[Mp4-tech] H264 Reference Pictures

[Satendra]

Greetings,
I am getting some problems in H264 decoder side implementation. I will be
thankful if someone point me to the solution.
Actually I am looking for a flag, if theres any, to indicate whether the
current picture, which I am decoding will be used for further references or
not. So as to decide, should I save this picture in DPB or just display and
through away.
As per my understanding, we have to look for many conditions to check if
decoding of a picture is completed and new picture started, so we can't have
any such flag. But still I think I missed something. there are few processes
defined in Slice Header for DPB marking and reordering, but not for a
complete picture.
Also, if possible, please point to the required sections of JM(8.6) code,
for further understanding.
thanks a lot
Satendra
