x265 2.2版本更新

Date: Mon, 26 Dec 2016 15:14:00 +0530

x265 version 2.2 has been released. This release contains new algorithms to

limit the search of optimal transform units, a new motion search method,

and optimizations to the bitstream. With this release, x265 also supports

POWERPC platforms, with key functions optimized by using ALTIVEC kernels.

Release Notes for 2.2

Encoder enhancements

Enhancements to TU selection algorithm with early-outs for improved

speed; use –limit-tu to exercise.

New motion search method SEA (Successive Elimination Algorithm)

supported now as –me 4

Bit-stream optimizations to improve fields in PPS and SPS for bit-rate

savings through –[no-]opt-qp-pps, –[no-]opt-ref-list-length-pps, and

–[no-]multi-pass-opt-rps.

Enabled using VBV constraints when encoding without WPP.

All param options dumped in SEI packet in bitstream when info selected.

x265 now supports POWERPC-based systems. Several key functions also have

optimized ALTIVEC kernels.

API changes

Options to disable SEI and optional-VUI messages from bitstream made

more descriptive.

New option –scenecut-bias to enable controlling bias to mark scene-cuts

via cli.

Support mono and mono16 color spaces for y4m input.

–min-cu-size of 64 no-longer supported for reasons of visual quality

(was crashing earlier anyways.)

API for CSV now expects version string for better integration of x265

into other applications.

Bug fixes

Several fixes to slice-based encoding.

–log2-max-poc-lsb‘s range limited according to HEVC spec.

Restrict MVs to within legal boundaries when encoding.
