摘要： Timecoding systems, methods and data structures are described which, in some embodiments, permit a true time to be ascertained from media samples whose timecodes contain an amount of drift which can arise from having non-integer frame rates. Inventive methods incorporate the use of an offset parameter that describes a time difference between a timecode and a true time associated with a media sample. The inventive approaches can be incorporated with and used compatibly in connection with current timecoding paradigms such as SMPTE timecode and the like. Further embodiments permit timecoding to take place at the field level of a frame. This can permit true-time calculations to be done to ascertain the true time associated with individual fields of a frame. In addition, other embodiments provide novel counting compensation methods that are directed to reducing the drift that can be associated with media samples that are sampled at non-integer frame rates.

摘要： Innovations in intra block copy (“BC”) prediction mode facilitate intra BC prediction that is more effective in terms of rate-distortion performance and/or computational efficiency of encoding and decoding. For example, some of the innovations provide ways to select block vector (“BV”) values more effectively. Other innovations provide ways to encode/decode BV values more efficiently. Still other innovations address how to perform in-loop deblock filtering when a block has intra BC prediction mode, or address how to perform intra BC prediction when constrained intra prediction is enabled.

摘要： A video encoding acceleration service to increase one or more of the speed and quality of video encoding is described. The service acts as an intermediary between an arbitrary video encoder computer program application and arbitrary video acceleration hardware. The service receives one or more queries from the video encoder to identify implementation specifics of the video acceleration hardware. The service interfaces with the video acceleration hardware to obtain the implementation specifics. The service communicates the implementation specifics to the video encoder. The implementation specifics enable the video encoder to: (a) determine whether one or more of speed and quality of software encoding operations associated with the video encoder can be increased with implementation of a pipeline of one or more supported encoding pipeline configurations and capabilities, and (b) implement the pipeline by interfacing with the service.

摘要： Methods and apparatuses are provided relating to the encoding of data, such as, e.g., images, video, etc. For example, certain methods include processing at least a portion of data using a plurality of different quantization functions to produce a plurality of corresponding quantized portions of data, and selectively outputting one of the quantized portions of data based on at least one threshold value. The method may also include dividing initial data into a plurality of portions and classifying the portion of data based on at least one classification characteristic. Here, for example, there may be a threshold value that is associated with the classification characteristic. Additional syntax may be adopted to enable considerably higher compression efficiency by allowing several alternative motion prediction cases. A high efficiency time stamp independent Direct Mode is also provided which considers spatial motion vector prediction as well with stationary temporal predictors.
