x262 Development Thread

ifb and I are writing x262, an mpeg-2 encoder building on the best-in-class features of x264

Git tree (more likely to be broken than working at any given time):

http://github.com/kierank/x262

Intra working. Inter in development.

perfect! now all you need is to fill those blocks up with pixels!



seriously looking forward to this one. who said mpeg-2 is dead? CCE is still selling and DTV is looking as crap as ever, so there's always going to be room to stir things up a bit.

best of luck!

Interesting project! I don't think DVDs are going away anytime soon (The install base is too huge!), so somebody will find a use for this for a long time yet! All the best!

There's nothing to test yet, unless you want your encodes to look like the above. Follow one of the guides for compiling x264, but clone the x262 github repository instead of official x264. Patches welcome.

Quant is done, but mostly untested until AC coefficient VLCs are written to the bitstream. Then we can encode more than an 8x8 blockfest.

Hear hear. Honestly, I get a ton of satisfaction from producing DVDs with Cinema Craft, because the quality dumps all over what's seen on most commercial discs when it's used carefully. The satisfaction from doing MPEG-2 right is huge because it's not so easy.

So I look forward to seeing what this can do!

nice! so the blocks are filled with details now?

just to illuminate things here, how much needs to be done to squeeze the x264 elephant into the mpeg-2 morris mini?

Is this reason why you might be developing this project?

Not at all. That reason doesn't even make much sense.

The Open Source Broadcast Encoder is the main reason x262 is being written.

So you're targeting the broadcast space, not DVDs? Or both? Very interesting now.

And later introduce commercial license as with x264

Personally I don't care much for DVDs. I don't think ifb does either.

But will it be possible to create DVD compliant encodes with x262?

OK, otherwise IMHO it will be useless.
Is there a time scheme when it will be finished?
