There are also some sample clips for testing on the same page.

This is not the 1st one...

You have also OpenHEVC (https://github.com/OpenHEVC/openHEVC) and libav Smarter fork (https://github.com/smarter/) + the reference decoder.

Grrrreat, I clicked on the link, and was greeted :rolleyes: by an antitheist troll message:

Try browsing with Chrome. Look like GitHub is having some issues with Firefox (and maybe other browsers) right now.

EDIT: Hmm... They fixed it faster than I type!

Note also that Osmo4 player (http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ateme-enables-industry-first-open-source-implementation-supporting-hevc-201219821.html) from GPAC framework (http://gpac.wp.mines-telecom.fr/downloads/gpac-nightly-builds/) is able to decode hevc streams...

To try osmo4 player you can download hevc sample here : ftp://ftp.kw.bbc.co.uk/hevc/hm-10.0-anchors/bitstreams/
Then rename *.bin to *.265
To mux into mp4 : Mp4box -add *.265 *.mp4
And enjoy osmo4 player

Looks like an LGPL violating libavcodec.

Looks like an LGPL violating libavcodec.
what do you mean ? which tool exactly ?

what do you mean ? which tool exactly ?
xhevc. A quick glance at their library brings up libavcodec-related strings. Making it effectively LGPL.

It doesn't seem to be smarter's decoder, though. Seems to support less features and have different warning/error messages.

@EasyFab

In your example the framerate seems to be wrong
In the link to bbc, a lot of samples are with a framerate of 50 or 60, but after conversion with MP4box, the frame rate is 25 ! Is it a limitation of MP4Box or a parameter to specify ?

You need to specify the frame rate otherwise mp4box will assume 25 :)
-fps 50
should do the trick

Thanks a lot... I'll try
