libde265 HEVC Features and Roadmap


The libde265 team released a development roadmap for the libde265 HEVC codec. The roadmap for March, April and May includes HEVC decoder and HEVC/H.265 encoder features and end-user application development.

HEVC Decoder engineering

  • long term prediction (mid March)
  • WPP with multiple and dependent slices (end March)
  • all 8bit conformance streams correct (end March)
  • frame-based multi-threading (April/May)

HEVC Encoder engineering

  • intra frames (May)
  • P slices

Application support

  • VLC Mac OS (March)
  • iOS (March)
  • Chrome browser plug-in (March)
