Third Annual MSU MPEG4-AVC/H.264 codecs comparison (published!)
LAST NEWS: Comparison was published, it's URL is:
http://www.compression.ru/video/code...4_2006_en.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please, forward this information to H.264 codecs developers! MSU Graphics&Media Lab Video Group announce third Annual H.264 video codec comparison: =========================================================================== CALL FOR MPEG4-AVC/H.264 CODECS Third Annual H.264 video codec comparison For people, who make real research in field of high-end video compression =========================================================================== Scope of test ------------- * Encoding and decoding time * Objective measurements (PSNR, SSIM, VQM, Average Advantage and etc) * Analysis of averaged objective results * Leaders in different areas * Cross-compatibility test See previous comparison for detailes Important Dates --------------- * August, 1 - deadline for receipt of a H.264 codec with required presets * August, 15 - deadline for settling technical problems with codec's functioning The Facts about the Previous H.264 Video Codecs Comparison ---------------------------------------------------------- * There were more than 50.000 downloads of previous H.264 video codec comparison results * Many codec's bugs were found and reported to developers * Following codecs was granted for second annual comparison by developers last year (in alphabetic order): - ArcSoft H.264 - Ateme H.264 - ATI H.264 - Elecard H.264 - Fraunhofer IIS H.264 - VSS H.264 - x264 * Intel H.264 will going to take part in comparison this year Enhancements from Previous H.264/AVC Comparison ----------------------------------------------- * Better sequences set (several subsets with independent encoding presets and results calculation) * Decompression will be performed by JM reference software * Comparison of original decoders and JM reference decoder (postfilters testing) will be added * Cross-compatibility test will be added * Decoders time measurement will be added * 2-pass encoding will be added and tested Developers Deliverables ----------------------- Following deliverables should be provided by each developer: * Codec files (CLI executable file is preferable) * Short description of codec parameters * Codec's presets with pointing of used H.264/AVC profile Useful Links to Previous Comparisons ----------------------------------- * Second Annual MSU MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Video Codec Comparison http://www.compression.ru/video/code...4_2005_en.html * MPEG-2 Video Decoders "Crash-Test" Comparison http://www.compression.ru/video/code...2_2006_en.html * MSU MPEG-4 SP/ASP Codecs Comparison http://www.compression.ru/video/code...mpeg-4_en.html * MSU Lossless Video Codecs Comparison http://www.compression.ru/video/code...codecs_en.html See full text of CALL FOR MPEG4-AVC/H.264 CODECS on http://www.compression.ru/video/code...codecs_06.html ---------------------------------------------- Our current roadmap (codecs testing area): 1) Third Annual H.264 video codec comparison (extended in comparison with previous year). 2) MPEG-4/MPEG-4 AVC Decoders "Crash-test" Enjoy!

I'm glad you're doing 2-pass this time.
But like Golgot13 said, we would also like to see more HP tests. Good Luck

x264 has good documentation, so no additional information about parameters it's necessary. For other codecs (without public command line version) such infrmation is required. |

Short update: we test received codecs now and help companies to select parameters with approximatly the same compression time. Number of codecs will be close to previous year. Also we think about tests (with selected presets) of codecs not only from developers (for some interesting codecs).
And I repeat the differencies from last year comparison: * Better sequences set (several subsets with independent encoding presets and results calculation) * Decompression will be performed by JM reference software * Comparison of original decoders and JM reference decoder (postfilters testing) will be added * Cross-compatibility test will be added * Decoders time measurement will be added * 2-pass encoding will be added and tested See Call for codecs page: http://www.compression.ru/video/code...codecs_06.html |

So comparison is moving forward, but as background project (at some evenings after commercial projects, sometimes at nights). I'l post news periodically (you right this is good idea to keep people informed). |

Third annual H.264 comparison published!
Tested codecs: * MainConcept H.264 * Intel H.264 (as was promised, Intel provide there codec this year and will provide better version next year, thay already have it) * VSS H.264 * x264 * Apple H.264 (partially tested) * Sorenson H.264 (partially tested) Most interesting features: 1. Using of integral characterictics. 2. Cross-years comparison of codecs for 2004-2005-2006. Comparison URL: http://www.compression.ru/video/code...4_2006_en.html And big thanks to all comparison reviewers! Enjoy!

Yes. Originally they are optimazed codec for satellite broadcasters primarily (this is really another requarements and this is reason why Ateme take off their codec from test), and now mainconcept/elecard have time for another optimization.
