Figure 5. x264 delivered slightly higher quality than MainConcept. However, the difference isn’t nearly as dramatic as the x264-Apple differential shown in Figure 1. For this reason, while I use x264 ...

You need to specify what encoding parameters you're passing, what x264 considers its PSNR or SSIM to be after encode, and what the average bitrate was.

Codec options, for one thing. "Beyond that, what do I look for in an H.264 encoder? I'm going to look for multiple H.264 codec options," Reinhardt said. "I only really care about one these days -- ...

The x264 video encoding result was very good however—even despite the lack of memory performance—with the MSI P45 Platinum only delivering an encode time two seconds slower than the Gigabyte ...

Intel's AV1 encoder produces a relatively clean video compared to x264—and both of these options utterly obliterate NVIDIA and AMD's GPU encoders, which seriously struggle with too-low bitrates.

Does anyone here? Are there particular video encoding steps that suffer under GPU optimization? It would seem to me that if x264 had an OpenCL branch, it would really speed things up.

The release of VP8 sparked an ongoing debate about its quality compared to that of H.264. The Moscow lab used an MPEG-4 x264 encoder for the tests, which involved movie clips and HDTV, and used the ...

I decided to pit CodecSys against two different PC configurations running the x264 open source encoder, and the reasoning behind this is very simple. With its dual $200/2000 price points, personal ...

Telestream has announced availability of Episode 6.3 video encoding software. Support for the x264 video codec brings higher-quality H.264 encoding to all Episode software products. In addition, ...

The X264 encoder remains one of the leading H.264 encoders on the market and it resides under both the open source GNU GPL license as well as a commercial license which is designed for companies ...
