    Dear video codec developers,

    Moscow State University Graphics & Multimedia Laboratory
    starts next seventh annual H.264 video codecs comparison.

    New this year features:
    • Videoconference Encoding Analysis
      Due to the fact that videocoference encoding has some specific
      that is quite different to transcoding tasks we plan to perform
      special analysis for videoconference encoding.
    • New Metrics
      We will use new objective quality metrics MS-SSIM and 3-SSIM
      in addition to classical SSIM and PSNR.
    • GPU Analysis
      This year we want to add GPU-encoders analysis to the comparison.
      For this analysis we plan to use top GPU, e.g.
      NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580.
    • HRD Compliance
      We consider the possibility to perform HRD compliance test for
      video codecs that support this feature.
    • Transcoding Analysis
      Also we want to propose developers to take part in special
      additional testing mode - transcoding analysis.
      Developer sends us a pair (MPEG-2 decoder + H.264 encoder)
      and we will test it for transcoding use-case we will take
      MPEG-2 source video sequecnes to encode
      them with H.264 encoder.

    Important Dates
    February, 1 - Deadline for receipt of a H.264 codec with presets
    February, 14 - Deadline for settling technical problems with codec
    March, 15 - Report's draft will be sent to all participants
    March, 22 - Deadline for reception of comments to the draft
    April, 7 - Comparison report release

    Variants of Participation
    There are two variants for companies to participate in our comparison:
    1. Participation for free. All results of your codec will be
      published, except special cases of measurements
      problems due to codec instability.
    2. Private participation. A special report will be prepared only
      for your company. This report contains:
      • Your codec results and all material from the free version
      • Special additional analysis of your codec

    If you are interested in the private participation,
    please contact us for details.
