RealVideo 1.0 uses an insane way to encode DC coefficients: There are
several symbols that (for no good reason whatsoever) have multiple
encodings, leading to longer codes than necessary.
More specifically, the tree for the 256 luma symbols contains 255 codes
belonging to 255 different symbols on the left; going further right,
the tree consists of two blocks of 128 codes each of length 14 encoding
consecutive numbers (including two encodings for the symbol missing among
the 255 codes on the left); this is followed by two blocks of codes of
length 16 each containing 256 elements with consecutive symbols (i.e.
each of the blocks allows to encode all symbols). The rest of the tree
consists of 2^11 codes that all encode the same symbol.
The tree for the 256 chroma symbols is similar, but is missing the
blocks of length 256 and there are only 2^9 consecutive codes that
encode the same symbol; furthermore, the chroma tree is incomplete:
The right-most node has no right child.
All of this caused problems when parsing these codes; the reason is that
the code for this predates commit

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.
- Additional small tools such as
aviocat
,ismindex
andqt-faststart
.
