    Comparison Content

    The main goal of the performed comparison is getting answers on the following questions regarding lossless video codecs:

  • What codec or codecs are best for video capture and video editing applications?
  • What codec or codecs achieve the best compression ratio?
  • What advantages multithreading gives to modern codecs supporting it?
  • Only absolutely lossless codecs were studied in this comparison. Only progressive test video sequences were used.

    Main conclusions:

  • In Video Capture and Video Editing Area the overall clear winner is Lagarith.
  • In Maximum Compression area the overall winner is YULS.
  • The most balanced and flexible codec is FFV1: relatively good speed and high compression for various presets.
  • The comparison paper is 130 pages long and contains a lot of graphs to facilitate analysis like this one:

    Public MSU video filters
    Here are available VirtualDub and AviSynth filters. Commonly we develop a whole family of some kind of a filter. Generally there are also versions optimized for PC and hardware implementations (ASIC/FPGA/DSP). These optimized versions can be licensed to companies. Please contact us for details via video(at)graphics.cs.msu_ru.
    MSU filters for companies
    We are working with Intel, Samsung, RealNetworks and other companies on adapting our filters other video processing algorithms for specific video streams, applications and hardware like TV-sets, graphics cards, etc. Some of such projects are non-exclusive. Also we have internal researches. Please let us know via video(at)graphics.cs.msu_ru if you are interested in acquiring a license for such filters or making a custom R&D project on video processing, compression, computer vision.
