Sif1 latest developer version

Avi file:
http://mysif.ru/Avi/park_joy_sif1.avi

File size 16810 kilobytes.

Compression script:
RawSource("park_joy_1080p.y4m")
AddBorders(0,0,0,8)

Compression settings:
Single pass quality based
Visual distortion: 74
Maximum I-frame interval: 250
Color quantization scaling: 34
Additional quantizer: 64

It is interesting to compare with VP8

* Sorenson MPEG-4 Pro (for Visual Simple Profiles and Visual Profile encoding)
* Sorenson Spark Pro
* QuickTime Encoders
* Real Media Encoders

Don't know what their codec is based on though.

QT gamma shift "workaround"

Quicktime Pro 7.6.5 on Windows (7.6.6 is known to be buggy)
keyframes every 250
best quality (2pass)

http://www.mediafire.com/?mjyz3wqttyy

Most people don't care for QT, but for anyone interested:

one workaround for the dreaded "quicktime gammashift bug" is to use uncompressed avi with the fourcc "IYUV" . There is one that you use for free with "Drastic Codecs" (google it) . For some reason, some other fourcc uncompressed Y'CbCr video can elicit the shift

Quicktime 7.5.5 Windows encode without gamma shift I made a while back, which comes closer to target file size than previous post. Used same methodology to get uncompressed into Quicktime.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/2ym5yzzugmm/QTPJ.mp4

Settings used:
Keyframe: 250 frames
Bitrate 14200
Multipass encoding

Since Quicktime's gamma shift bug is still not fixed and isn't that easy to get around, shouldn't Quicktime be penalised some way in the test? E.g. by leaving the gamma shift in and making the difference clear in the screenshot comparisons. You'd want to bring more awareness of the bug, after all, since it definitely affects quality.

Day 1 noob posting some proprietary encoder results . Xennon encoders are made for live encoding for mobile streaming. They are not optimized for quality only. Since 3gp standard is pretty restrictive only h264 baseline profile is supported :
MPEG4 normal : http://www.mediafire.com/?y2ltdm0y2gw
MPEG4 sharp : http://www.mediafire.com/?5vunmrdmzqc
X264 : http://www.mediafire.com/?mdyzwyydjhm

Thanks for making this collection of encoders. It really helped me make a decision.

It's not the same, or does your encoder have a INSANE mode

have, but i didn't manage to use it with 2pass RC. Some options are locked for single pass/VBR mode only. Since i aim to target bitrate/size, i use max possible settings for 2pass. Anyway difference between Insane and Ultra is real placebo, and waste of time.

Do you already have a Microsoft Expression Encoder Pro 3 H.264 sample? I don't see one in this thread, so I am working on one myself.

I'm done encoding. For a two-pass encoder, it doesn't do a very good job of maintaining the desired average bitrate.

It's actually a gamma thing. There's a decent workaround (that requires QTPro) but it's still []. It sucks that there are a lot of good broadcast/live hardware that will only allow video in .mov format.
Unless I'm mistaken x264 cannot be held in an mov container.


What about Sorenson3 codec? As old as it is, it is sadly still being used a lot of places.
