SoC 2011/Stereo high profile mvc encoding

     This Project is part of Google Summer Of Code 2011
  Student : Palanivel Guruvareddiar
  Mentor  : Kieran Khunya

Abstract

The goal of this project is to add Multi-view coding (to be specific stereo 3D) support to x264 encoder. This will enable x264 to author 3D videos in H.264 Stereo High Profile MVC format. This will involve adding the encoding tools specific to secondary (right) view. 3D Bluray made H.264 MVC as the encoding format and the secondary goal of the poject is to implement 3D Bluray specific changes.
