x264 and MVC encoding

kabelbrand · 4th June 2013, 10:58

Once in a while this question is asked and today I'll do it: Are there any news about a MVC implemenation in x264?
The GSoC 2011 project seems discontinued mid way and Fixstars' patch was never mentioned again.

It might be a niche but it would be great to have an alternative encoder for 3D Blu-ray. The video quality on recent discs is quite underwhelming and if the main/left view is used for 2D output as well it gets even worse.

I'm no specialist but wouldn't it be a start by having two separate encodes (same settings/structure) and adding the appropriate SEI messages only without the need for features like inter view prediction? Or is that mandatory?

Thank you.
