This project is part of Google Summer of Code 2010.
Student: Simon Horlick-Loach
Mentor: Jason Garret-Glaser

Abstract

Currently x264 supports interlaced encoding with MBAFF frame structure where each macroblock is encoded as interlaced. This project will implement full adaptive interlacing support where macroblocks are encoded as progressive or interlaced depending on their content.
