x264 is a free library for encoding H264/AVC video streams.
The code is written from scratch by Laurent Aimar, Loren Merritt, Eric Petit (OS X), Min Chen (vfw/asm), Justin Clay (vfw), Måns Rullgård, Radek Czyz, Christian Heine (asm), Alex Izvorski, Alex Wright and Jason Garrett-Glaser.
It is released under the terms of the GNU GPL.
Development status
Encoder features
8x8 and 4x4 adaptive spatial transform
Adaptive B-frame placement
B-frames as references / arbitrary frame order
CAVLC/CABAC entropy coding
Custom quantization matrices
Intra: all macroblock types (16x16, 8x8, 4x4, and PCM with all predictions)
Inter P: all partitions (from 16x16 down to 4x4)
Inter B: partitions from 16x16 down to 8x8 (including skip/direct)
Interlacing (MBAFF)
Multiple reference frames
Ratecontrol: constant quantizer, constant quality, single or multipass ABR, optional VBV
Scenecut detection
Spatial and temporal direct mode in B-frames, adaptive mode selection
Parallel encoding on multiple CPUs
Predictive lossless mode
Psy optimizations for detail retention (adaptive quantization, psy-RD, psy-trellis)
Zones for arbitrarily adjusting bitrate distribution
