xavs2

xavs2 is an open-source encoder of AVS2-P2/IEEE1857.4 video coding standard.

A decoder, davs2, can be found at Github or Gitee (mirror in China).

Build it

Windows

Use VS2013 or later version of visual studio to open the solution file ./build/vs2013/xavs2.sln, then set the xavs2 as the start project and build it.

Notes

A shell executor, i.e. the bash in git for windows, is needed and should be found in PATH variable. For example, the path C:\Program Files\Git\bin can be added if git-for-windows is installed.
nasm.exe with version 2.13 (or later version) is needed and should be put into the build/vs2013 directory. For windows platform, you can downloaded the packege and unpack the zip file to get nasm.exe: https://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/2.14.02/win64/nasm-2.14.02-win64.zip

Linux

$ cd build/linux
$ ./configure
$ make

Try it

./xavs2 [-f encoder.cfg [-f seq.cfg]] [-p ParameterName=value] [--ParameterName=value]

Encode with configuration files

./xavs2 -f encoder.cfg -f seq4K.cfg -p InputFile=input.yuv -p FramesToBeEncoded=500 \
  -p preset=0 -p recon=. -p initial_qp=32 -p OutputFile=test.avs

Enocde without configuraton files

./xavs2 -p InputFile=input.yuv --FramesToBeEncoded=500 --fps=50 \
  --SourceWidth=3840 --SourceHeight=2160 --InputSampleBitDepth=8 --SampleBitDepth=8 \
  --thread_frames=1 --thread_rows=1 --preset=0 \
  --recon=. --initial_qp=32 --OutputFile=test.avs
