Introduction: x264 is a free library for encoding H264/AVC video streams. The code is written from scratch by Laurent Aimar, Loren Merritt, Eric Petit(OS X), Min Chen (vfw/asm), Justin Clay(vfw), Måns Rullgård, Christian Heine (asm), and Alex Izvorski (asm). Here are some key features of "x264": · CAVLC/CABAC · Multi-references · Intra: all macroblock types (16x16, 8x8, and 4x4 with all predictions) · Inter P: all partitions (from 16x16 down to 4x4) · Inter B: partitions from 16x16 down to 8x8 (including skip/direct) · Ratecontrol: optional VBV, single or multipass ABR, constant quantizer · Scene cut detection · Adaptive B-frame placement · B-frames as references / arbitrary frame order · 8x8 and 4x4 adaptive spatial transform · Lossless mode · Custom quantization matrices · Parallel encoding of multiple slices Note: x264 is still in early development stage
