Mentor: Holger Lubitz

Abstract

The primary goal for this project is to prepare the code base of x264 for encoding H.264 video with user defined sample depths. This will involve templating the encoder and migrating existing C code for use with higher sample depths.

A lot of optimizations are done with assembly, and will thus also need to be migrated. The secondary goal for this project is therefore to identify new assembly code to be written.

Milestones

Status Deadline Description
Done May 30 16-bit infrastructure ready for testing
No problems encountered so far June 6 Encoding with 16-bit infrastructure produce same results as 8-bit infrastructure.

Timeline

This schedule is preliminary.

Status Date Period Description
Done May 17 - May 23 Week 1 Identify C code that should be templated.

Repository

How to test the current code: 

 $ git clone git://github.com/irock/x264-high-bit-encoding.git
 $ cd x264-high-bit-encoding
 $ git checkout high-bit-encoding
 $ ./configure --disable-asm --enable-16-bit
 $ make
