minih264

Build Status

Small, but yet reasonably fast H264/SVC encoder single-header library with SSE/NEON optimizations. Decoder can be popped up in future.

Disclaimer: code highly experimental.

Comparison with x264

Rough comparison with x264 on an i7-6700K:

x264 -I 30 --profile baseline --preset veryfast --tune zerolatency -b 0 -r 1 --qp 33 --ipratio 1.0 --qcomp 1.0 -o x264.264 --fps 30 vectors/foreman.cif --input-res 352x288 --slices 1 --threads 1

You can compare results in motion using ffplay/mpv players on vectors/out_ref.264 and vectors/x264.264 .

Usage

TBD

SVC

Minih264 supports both spatial and temporal layers. Spatial layers are almost same as encode 2 independent AVC streams except for Intra frames prediction. Following diagram shows minih264 SVC scheme for two spatial layers:

SVC diargam

That's because P frames spatial prediction are almost useless in practice. But for Intra frames there is a ~20% benefit in full resolution frame size. Note that decoder must have both base layer I frame and full resolution SVC I frame to decode whole sequence of next P frames in full resolution.

Limitations

The following major features are not supported compared to x264 (baseline):

  • Trellis quantization.
  • Select prediction mode using Sum of Absolute Transform Differences (SATD).
  • 4x4 motion compensation.
