Compressed Video: Next Generation
No one can carry around in their memory all the information needed to guarantee compliance with all of the compressed video standards, and achieving compliance by going through the standards by hand and comparing it with the encoder or decoder that has been developed is slow and prone to error. The optimal approach is to automate the testing task as far as possible.
Software for Video Compression Analysis, Optimization & Evaluation
MTS4EA provides extensive decoding and analysis of compressed video streams. It also tests standards conformity, and provides comprehensive statistics for analysis and optimization of video compression.
Applications:
- Video compression optimization and debugging
- Standards compliance and interoperability testing
- Performance comparison/analysis between video codecs
Users of MTS4EA include many organizations developing or using video applications involving the compression standards of H.264/AVC, WMV9/VC-1, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, H263+, H263 and H.261 (and associated systems formats e.g. MP4, 3GPP, ASF, MPEG-2 TS, DVD/VOB).
Software for Audio Compression Analysis, Optimization & Evaluation
The Audio Analysis option for MTS4EA provides analysis and decoding of compressed audio streams. It tests standards conformity, and provides comprehensive statistics for analysis and optimization of audio compression.
Applications:
- Audio compression optimization and debugging
- Standards compliance and interoperability testing
- Performance comparison/analysis between audio codecs

Clips for Video Compression, Testing and Evaluation
Vclips are a diverse set of short video clips designed to test video encoders and decoders to the limits of their abilities.
The Encoder series is a set of uncompressed YUV clips that comprises many different video elements, designed to 'stress' an encoder in many ways.
The Decoder series of video clips is compressed to different video standards and tests video decoders not only to the limits of the video standard concerned, but also in their response to errors in encoded bitstreams.
Whether developing video compression or testing the performance of different codecs, using Vclips can save many man-weeks of time otherwise spent generating sequences.
