When rate control is disabled (RC_OFF_MODE), dynamic slice adjustment in DynamicAdjustSlicing() defaults the minimum macroblock requirement per slice (iMinimalMbNum) to the frame's macroblock width (1 row per slice). For frames with extreme aspect ratios (such as very wide resolutions), requiring 1 macroblock row per slice across multiple slices can exceed the total number of macroblocks in the frame. This change ensures robust macroblock distribution and load balancing by: - Falling back iMinimalMbNum to 1 macroblock per slice when row-based heuristics exceed frame capacity in RC_OFF_MODE. - Skipping adjustment and logging a warning when the requested number of slices equals or exceeds the total macroblocks in the frame. - Adding a capacity guard in GomValidCheckSliceMbNum() for rate-controlled encoding modes. - Adding a unit test (DynamicAdjustSlicingExtremeAspectRatio) to verify dynamic slice adjustment and load balancing on wide aspect ratio frames.
