View source for SoC 2010/Macroblock adaptive frame field interlacing

{{SoCProject|year=2010|student=[[User:Simonhorlick|Simon Horlick-Loach]]|mentor=[[User:Dark_Shikari|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.

== Milestones ==

This list is ''very'' preliminary.
