The release of the VVenC 1.8 project is available, which develops a high-performance encoder for video in the H.266/VVC format (the VVDeC decoder is being developed separately by the same development team). The project code is written in C++ and distributed under the BSD license. The new version offers additional optimizations, which made it possible to speed up encoding by 15% in fast mode, by 5% in slow mode, and by 10% in other presets. The gap in the efficiency of multi-threaded and single-threaded operations has been reduced.
Encoder Features:
- The presence of five ready-made presets that make it easier to get a result that achieves a certain compromise between quality and encoding speed.
- Support for perceptual optimization based on the XPSNR visual model, which takes into account the perception of the image by the eye to improve quality.
- Good scalability on multi-core systems due to active parallelization of calculations at the frame and task levels.
- Single-pass and dual-pass bandwidth control modes with support for Variable Bit Rate (VBR) coding.
- An expert mode that allows low-level control over the encoding process.
