Rostislav Pehlivanov b6c207f535 vc2enc_dwt: use 32 bit coefficients by default
The problem is that with particularly complex images and especially at
high bit depths and 5-level transforms the coefficients would overflow,
causing huge artifacts to appear. This was discovered thanks to the fate
tests, which will have to be redone as this fixes a multitude of
problems and increases PSNR.

There is a slight performance drop associated with this change, making
the encoder slower by 1.15 times, however this is necessary in order to
avoid undefined behavior and overflows.

It would be worth to template the transforms to keep the performance for
8 bit images as 32 bit coefficients are unnecessary for that case, but
the primary use of the encoder is to encode video at 10 bits.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides a mean to alter decoded Audio and Video through chain of filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • ffserver is a multimedia streaming server for live broadcasts.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.

Documentation

The offline documentation is available in the doc/ directory.

The online documentation is available in the main website and in the wiki.

Examples

Coding examples are available in the doc/examples directory.

FFmpeg codebase is mainly LGPL-licensed with optional components licensed under GPL. Please refer to the LICENSE file for detailed information.

Contributing

Patches should be submitted to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list using git format-patch or git send-email. Github pull requests should be avoided because they are not part of our review process. Few developers follow pull requests so they will likely be ignored.
