Description: video encoder for the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC standard
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
