x264 - OpenSource AVC/H.264 Video Codec

Zitat von Selur

-> i.d.R. wird anstatt der RevisionsNummer eher das Datum verwendet. (intern immer ein SHA-1 Key, aber die kann man so schlecht lesen ;))

War der Vorteil von SVN nicht gerade, dass es eindeutige Revisionsnummern gibt? :hm:

An der Eindeutigkeit ändert sich ja nichts,...
k.A. warum die auf GIT umgestiegen sind, hab wenn bis dato i.d.R. auch immer nur mit SVN und CVS zu tun.

Mittlerweile sind r747/r748 Builds verfügbar:

Mittlerweile sind wieder einige neue Revisionen herausgekommen.

r743: cosmetics in dsp init
r744: remove x86_64 predict_8x8_ddl_mmxext because sse2 is faster even on amd
r745: pic macros now keep track of which register holds the GOT, so variable access doesn't have to care
r746: .gitignore
r747: increase the alignment of the i8x8 edge cache, needed for sse2 intra prediction.
patch by Alexander Strange.
r748: check for broken versions of yasm
r749: git compatible version script
r750: merge x86_32 and x86_64 asm, with macros to abstract calling convention and register names
r751: remove x264_mc_clip1.
it's wrong for sufficiently perverse inputs, and clip_uint8 is faster anyway.
r752: fix some name mangling issues introduced by the merge
r753: fix x86_32 ads which failed to preserve a register
r754: checkasm check whether callee-saved regs are correctly saved
x86_32 only for now since x86_64 varargs are annoying
r755: memcpy_aligned_sse2
r756: increase alignment of mv arrays
r757: shut up gcc warning in offsetof
r758: don't define offsetof since it's standard
r759: missing #ifdef HAVE_SSE3
r760: update msvc projectfile
r761: fix name mangling again.
apparently it's not just a convention, dll build fails if you try to export a non-prefixed name.
r762: remove remaining reference to clip1.h
r763: continue instead of crash when the threading mv constraint is violated.
doesn't fix the underlying bug, but hopefully less annoying until we find it.

Kommen die Builds mit AQ-Patch jetzt von bob0r? Sharktooth verlinkt diese direkt in seinem Thread.

r764: get_ref_sse2
r765: satd_4x4_ssse3
r766: cosmetics in asm
r767: skip intra pred+dct+quant in cases where it's redundant (analyse vs encode)
large speedup with trellis=2, small speedup with trellis=0 and/or subme>=6
r768: reduce the size of some arrays
r769: reduce zigzag arrays from int to int16_t
r770: faster intra predict 8x8 hu/hd
r771: cosmetics in intra predict[INDENT] r768-r771 haben einen Bug beim CALVC Encoding. Ist beim r772 wieder gefixt.

Zitat

The code is extremely ugly and the diff won't work on any recent revision of x264. Anyone who publicly distributes builds of this with any intent other than to experiment is crazy.

Cu Selur

Mittlerweile sind wir bei (durchgezählt!?) Revision 886. Im Changelog sind die Revisionsnummern ja nicht mehr zu finden, allerdings findet man eine erfreuliche Vielzahl an Einträgen, die auf Geschwindigkeitsoptimierungen hinweisen, insbesondere für den PC. Auch scheint es Patches zu geben, die psychovisuelle Effekte für HD-Material ausnutzen.

Resolve floating point exception with frame_init_lowres mmx
In some cases, the mmx version of frame_init_lowres could leave the FPU uninitialized for use in ratecontrol, resulting in floating point exceptions.
Since frame_init_lowres is such a time-consuming function, an emms was just put at the end, since it costs almost nothing compared to the total time of frame_init_lowres.

lowres_init asm
rounding is changed for asm convenience. this makes the c version slower, but there's no way around that if all the implementations are to have the same results.

Convert NNZ to raster order and other optimizations
Converting NNZ to raster order simplifies a lot of the load/store code and allows more use of write-combining.
More use of write-combining throughout load/save code in common/macroblock.c
GCC has aliasing issues in the case of stores to 8-bit heap-allocated arrays; dereferencing the pointer once avoids this problem and significantly increases performance.
More manual loop unrolling and such.
Move all packXtoY functions to macroblock.h so any function can use them.
Add pack8to32.
Minor optimizations to encoder/macroblock.c

Sehr schöne Zusammenfassung und Beschreibung der letzten Änderungen im git von Dark Sharkiri in seinem Blog:

Zitat

Filed under: bitstream, bugs, chroma, development, memory management, skip, speed, summary, variable-length coding, x264 :: I haven’t written a post here for quite some time, so I figured I’d get back into the swing of things with an update on some recent revisions. Further information can be found on the official git repository page.
r891: Instead of checking for the end of the bitstream on every single write, check before encoding each macroblock–and instead of silently truncating the frame upon reaching the end of the malloced memory, reallocate with more room. (patch by me)
r892: A patch by Gabriel for compilation on MSVC and other crappy compiles that don’t maintain mod16 stack alignment–disable all functions that require these on such platforms. This results in a visible CPU flag (”slow_mod4_stack”) to warn the user that their build is crippled.
r893: Various micro-optimizations by me, along with a very cool little idea that saves quite a bit of time in probe_skip. The idea here is that the probe_skip function *almost never* terminates during the chroma check, but you can’t skip it completely, since if you choose to skip a block before looking at the chroma, and it turned out there was significant detail there that you ignored, there might be noticeable artifacting as a result. The solution was to do a quick Sum of Squared Differences (SSD) check before doing the actual probe_skip on each chroma plane; if low enough, skip the check. Even an incredibly low threshold was sufficient for skipping the check nearly half the time yet never changing the results.
r894: Assembly for the lowres interpolation filter used for frametype decision–drastically increases its speed. The C was modified in order to match the assembly version, which had slightly different rounding. I originally wrote an MMX, SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 version of this patch, but Loren found an even faster method of doing it and rewrote most of it from scratch before committing it.
r895: Fix a bug in adaptive quantization stemming from the original implementation. One subtle issue with this patch is that on win32, GCC incorrectly puts arrays of all zeroes into .bss even when told to align them–despite the fact that .bss is only labeled as 4-byte aligned. This causes a crash, of course. We resolved this with an ugly hack–tack a “1″ onto the end of the array to stop GCC from putting it in .bss.
r896: Improve the permutation macros for easier use throughout x264’s assembly. (patch by Loren)
r897: Port the noise reduction assembly from libavcodec and improve it. Speed up the C version too. The SSSE3 assembly is roughly 25 times faster than the original C code. (patch by me with help from Loren and Holger)
r898-r899: Update the copyright headers across x264. (patch by me)
r900: Fix a subtle bug in Loren’s frame_init_lowres patch; in some cases the FPU might not be re-initialized with “emms” after running frame_init_lowres, so an emms was added just in case.
r901: Lots of mini-optimizations, one by holger, the rest by me.
r902: Considerable cleanup of the SSD assembly functions to simplify the code. (patch by Loren)
r903: A complete rewrite of the bitstream functions from the ground up. This vastly faster bitstream writer uses 32-bit and 64-bit instead of 8-bit chunks. This eliminates the need for any loop in bitstream writing. The 32-bit writer is quite similar to ffmpeg’s 32-bit writer. The 64-bit writer uses a particularly ingenious system whereby the writer only writes 32 bits at a time, but keeps up to 64 bits in a storage chunk–this means that any variable-length code can be written unconditionally to the chunk, since there’s always at least 32 bits of space left: the write to the bitstream is done afterwards. Because of this, the 64-bit bitstream writer only needs a single if statement in its write function; not even an else. (patch by me with help from Loren)
r904: The golomb functions were far more complicated than necessary–with the new bitstream writer changes many of the special cases were no longer useful speed-wise. Additionally, many of the branches were not necessary in most calls to those functions. (patch by Loren with some changes by me)
r905: When a large static table is stuck in a .h file, its duplicated in every single C file that includes and uses it. This is a waste of memory–its better to declare it once in a C file and use “extern” to address it from other locations. This diff de-duplicates VLC tables and additionally reduces them from using 16-bit to using 8-bit codes, since none of the VLC codes have more than 8 significant bits. (patch by Loren, change to 8-bit by me)
r906: Add support for PCM macroblocks. This type of macroblock is *completely* uncompressed and bypasses the CABAC entropy coder. As such, each PCM block is always 384 bytes. The advantage of this is that sometimes, given the current state of the CABAC encoder, at very low QPs (0-5) and in lossless mode, its possible that a block will exceed 384 bytes in size–so PCM would have been a better option. When rate-distortion optimization is enabled, PCM is considered as a possible option by x264. (patch by me)

Prevent VBV from lowering quantizer too much
This code seemed to act up unexpectedly sometimes, creating a situation where in 1-pass VBV mode, a frame's quantizer would drop all the way to qpmin and then shoot back upwards to qpmax, causing serious visual issues.
This change may decrease bitrate in VBV mode, but that is preferable to the artifacting produced by this code.

hardcode the ratecontrol equation, and remove the rceq option

'remove the rceq option' ... WHY?!?
hier was Dark Shikari dazu meinte:

Zitat

1. The ratecontrol has been heavily modified since its original code was borrowed from ffmpeg, and may not react in the same way to a modified ratecontrol equation.

2. FFmpeg was passing x264 either a NULL rceq, or a broken one, and since they refused to fix it, the only way to resolve it was to completely remove support, forcing them to fix it.

Cache motion vectors in lowres lookahead
This vastly speeds up b-adapt 2, especially at large bframes values.
This changes output because now MV prediction in lookahead only uses L0/L1 MVs, not bidir. This isn't a problem, since the bidir prediction wasn't really correct to begin with, so the change in output is neither positive nor negative.
This also allowed the removal of some unnecessary memsets, which should also give a small speed boost.
Finally, this allows the use of the lowres motion vectors for predictors in some future patch.

Add optional more optimal B-frame decision method
This method (--b-adapt 2) uses a Viterbi algorithm somewhat similar to that used in trellis quantization.
Note that it is not fully optimized and is very slow with large --bframes values.
It also takes into account weightb, which should improve fade detection.
Additionally, changes were made to cache lowres intra results for each frame to avoid recalculating them. This should improve performance in both B-frame decision methods.
This can also be done for motion vectors, which will dramatically improve b-adapt 2 performance when it is complete.
This patch also reads b_adapt and scenecut settings from the first pass so that the x264 header information in the output file will have correct information (since frametype decision is only done on the first pass).

Move adaptive quantization to before ratecontrol, eliminate qcomp bias
This change improves VBV accuracy and improves bit distribution in CRF and 2pass.
Instead of being applied after ratecontrol, AQ becomes part of the complexity measure that ratecontrol uses.
This allows for modularity for changes to AQ; a new AQ algorithm can be introduced simply by introducing a new aq_mode and a corresponding if in adaptive_quant_frame.
This also allows quantizer field smoothing, since quantizers are calculated beofrehand rather during encoding.
Since there is no more reason for it, aq_mode 1 is removed. The new mode 1 is in a sense a merger of the old modes 1 and 2.
WARNING: This change redefines CRF when using AQ, so output bitrate for a given CRF may be significantly different from before this change!
