H.265/HEVC Codec?

[Xmodracer]

Are there any released codecs for H.265/HEVC?

From Google I get this:

MPEG's current timetable for developing HVC is as follows:


January 2010 Call for Proposals issued
Feb-April 2010 Technology proposals submitted and evaluated
Late 2010 Test Model reference codec developed
2011-2012 Draft versions of the new standard
2012/2013? New video coding standard published.


So i dont think there is much to be found.

And, just for my curiousity; What is your interest in this?

AVC seems to fulfill the needs of most people at the moment, HVC has no added value for most current users or for current applications. And AVC is still improved upon; MVC for instance, or the addition greater color-planes.

Just wanted to test video quality at low bitrates and compare it to h264.

Hehehe don't get too excited now. When a usable encoder comes along it will look like crap. It will simply be done to show that it can be done. It will probably miss some important features too because they will want it to be able to encode something in this decade.

6 hours for 8 frames of video? :devil:

6 hours for 8 frames of video? :devil:They've finally released a better version that's about 10 times faster. Which is probably vaguely good enough for testing at this point.

I think that it's useful to read the output document by JCT-VC:

http://ftp3.itu.int/av-arch/jctvc-site/2010_04_A_Dresden/JCTVC-A204.zip

It includes average MOS values including HEVC proposals and H.264/AVC anchors. This average MOS is an average of five quality points. At the low bit-rates, quality difference becomes larger.
