Wikipedia h.264 update

[Caroliano]

Has any one visited Wikipedia's Mpeg4 AVC page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC)? I think it needs some corrections and updates like:
x264 is a GPL-licensed H.264 encoder that is used in the free VideoLAN and MEncoder transcoding applications and, as of September 2005, remains the only reasonably complete open source and free software implementation of the standard, with support for most of the Main Profile features except interlaced video and preliminary support for High Profile features.
I think it shoud be secure say that it is an almost complete High Profile AVC encoder. I think it only needs the suport for interlaced video and more color spaces, isn't? And may be secure too emphatizate that it is the best current avaliable AVC encoder, or not? What do you guys think?

I think it only needs the suport for interlaced videoGo say that to people that actually have to implement interlacing support. Supporting completely interlacing would mean almost as much development time as it has already been spent on the codec itself. In that regards, colorspaces are much easier to add. It also misses explicit weighted prediction.best current avaliable AVC encoderDefine available :) To the mass, it is - though nero is still strong and not necessarily behind.

I wasn't asking nothing. I was only apointing that it need/miss this for be a complete High Profile codec. It is not the same as say that it is necessary to be a excelent High Profile codec, or that is necessary to implement that. And what is weight biprediction that already exist in x264?
Define available
Publicaly avaliable.

I will also correct the part about libavcodec. Add FFDShow and FFMpeg there. Fell free to write that in a better way or make something else, like create a new division for decoders, even adding Bond decoder comparision link. The wikipedia is the free encyclopedia after all.

No quality statements in terms of "best of this" or "best of that" please. If you go that way you also have to show how have you determined it is the best.

Just call it good, or excellent. :)

you could write "one of the best"

also x264 was the first publically available avc high profile encoder if you dont count the reference

Yeah. I was thinking about something like: "it is generaly considered the best ..." or something like that. But I agree. Simple caling it exelent is better :)

The discussion page has the most hilarious fagdance I've seen in weeks. I wish that guy would come to PoE.

Caroliano : i didn't intend my post to sound harsh :(

Anyway : libavcodec == ffmpeg == ffdshow.
