eXtreamly fast Essential Video Decoder, MPEG-5 EVC (Essential Video Coding)

eXtra-fast Essential Video Decoder (XEVD)

The eXtra-fast Essential Video Decoder (XEVD) is an opensource and fast MPEG-5 EVC decoder.

MPEG-5 Essential Video Coding (EVC) is a future video compression standard of ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). The main goal of the EVC is to provide a significantly improved compression capability over existing video coding standards with timely publication of terms. The EVC defines two profiles, including "Baseline Profile" and "Main Profile". The "Baseline profile" contains only technologies that are older than 20 years or otherwise freely available for use in the standard. In addition, the "Main profile" adds a small number of additional tools, each of which can be either cleanly disabled or switched to the corresponding baseline tool on an individual basis.
