Description

x264 is an advanced commandline encoder for creating H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) video streams.

x264 supports the following features:

* CABAC (context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding) and CAVLC

(context-based adaptive variable length coding

* multiple reference frames

* 16x16, 8x8 and 4x4 intra-predicted macroblocks

* all P-frame inter-predicted macroblock types

* B-Inter-predicted macroblock types from 16x16 down to 8x8

* rate distortion optimization

* multiple rate control modes (constant quantizer, constant quality, single

or multipass ABR with the option of VBV)

* scene cut detection

* adaptive B-frame placement, with the option of keeping B-frames as

references / arbitrary frame order

* 8x8 and 4x4 adaptive spatial transform (high profile)

* lossless mode (high 4:4:4 profile)

* custom quantization matrices (high profile)

* parallel encoding on multiple CPUs

* interlaced streams
