uvg266 VVC encoder released

We have been converting our Kvazaar HEVC encoder to VVC for couple of years already, but finally we have good enough version to release for public:
https://github.com/ultravideo/uvg266

The conversion process for Intra part is described in our open-access paper:
https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9690938

Hackernews post about uvg266

We are still missing many VVC specific features but they are being worked on

Thanks.
Do you also develop plugins for Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder?

Unfortunately we are already quite busy working with uvg266 and we don't have expertise to build any plugins for Adobe software.

Additionally you would have to include some VVC decoder which we don't have =)

I would also say that our software is not actually "production ready" at the moment, we still need to add features and improve compression efficiency.

I don't know that Adobe has any codec plug-in model anymore. They used to be able to use DirectShow and QuickTime components, but the current suite doesn't let me access any codecs other than the ones Adobe explicitly supports.

Supports only: Media Foundation and Premiere Pro/After Effects/Adobe Media Encoder's SDKs: Go to Microsoft Store and download all codec extensions that Microsoft developed:
Media Foundation Codecs For Windows 10 and 11
These codecs are for example used by the following applications:

Movies&TV / Films&TV
Windows Media Player (legacy) (can also use DirectShow codecs)
Windows Media Player (new Windows 11 version)
Windows Photo Viewer
Windows Explorer (for thumbnails)
Adobe Premiere
Vegas Pro
DeoVR

The Media Foundation is slowly replacing DirectShow!

Just Google: Premiere Pro codecs plugins and you'll see lots of 3rd party codecs plugins! (Even Apple developed the official ProRes plugin for Windows!):
Compatible Applications
• Adobe After Effects
• Adobe Media Encoder
• Adobe Premiere Pro
• Adobe Premiere Rush

Funny enough, that's exactly what they told me when I joined Microsoft.

In 2005 !

It's been a long slow trip from VfW, the deprecation of which was announced more than 25 years ago.

I have all of those installed, and I can't get VP9 or AV1 export from the 2022 Adobe CC products. For decades any VfW codec installed would show up, and there were generic AVI and QuickTime export options where any installed codec could be used.

But those have been gone for a few years now. The only AVI codec is DV. QuickTime is mainly ProRes variations plus CineForm and DV. No WebM at all. Full Windows Media support is still in there, inducing waves of nostalgia.

Try this plugin for Adobe CC: Voukoder (VP8/9/AV1/UT/FFV1 and other codecs: free and open-source (Exporter only))

It has. You can write plugin and do proper integration. Anything like DirectShow is suboptimal. Problem with pixels formats, performance, hidden/inaccurate conversions etc.

There is a voukoder connector for Adobe, Resolve, Vegas...
https://www.voukoder.org/

It supports codecs from libavcodec/ffmpeg such as libx265, libx264, ffv1, svt-av1, utvideo etc... ; if uvg266 makes it into libavcodec then theoretically it could be supported too

Daniel, (the Voukoder dev) said he only supports FFmpeg codecs and he is working on a successor for Voukoder. (He refused Fraunhofer's official H.266 SDK and I know he only accept: x266!)

Please note: uvg266 does not strictly require AVX2. It runs e.g. on an AMD FX too.

Regarding playback: The InterDigital VTM VVC Plugin for VideoLAN VLC player works quite well; VVCEasy ships a set of binaries and helps installing them (if VLC is in the default installation directory).

It's not working for me, I have copied the plugins into the required folders of VLC 3.0.17.4 but it's not playing the two sample files I have, the Elecard ones from this post: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...53#post1970053

Do you have another sample file which works for you ?

It works for raw VVC video I created with uvg266. Unfortunately it does not work for VVC in MP4, because VLC's current MP4 splitter does not know VVC streams yet.

Compare foreman_cif_pal.266 with foreman_cif_pal.266.mp4.

OK I can play raw VVC videos, better than nothing
But when these plugins are installed VLC crashes as soon as I try to open any live stream I suppose it's because of the demuxer.
