Add fourcc definitions for the following compressed formats: H264, H264 without start codes, MPEG1/2/4 ES, DIVX versions 3.11, 4, 5.0-5.0.2, 5.03 and up, XVID, VC1 Simple/Main Profile and VC1 Advanced profile. --- Hi, During the v4l2 brain storming meeting in Warsaw one of the topics was assigning fourcc values for compressed elementary streams. I did some research - which included checking the VC1 and DivX formats. For other codecs: Xvid, MPEG1/2/4 and H263 the choice of fourcc values was clear. We have also had discussion regarding the H264 codec, which resulted in having two fourccs - one with start codes and one without. *** MPEG *** 'MPEG' fourcc will remain reserved for transport/program streams. For elementary MPEG streams the proposed fourccs are: * 'MPG1' for MPEG1 * 'MPG2' for MPEG2 * 'MPG4' for MPEG4 *** H263 *** For H263 the âH263â fourcc value is reasonable. *** Xvid *** âXVIDâ fourcc seems a good choice. *** H264 *** H264 elementary stream can come in two flavours: one with start codes and one without. Following fourccs are proposed: * 'H264' for NALUs with start codes (start codes are a fixed pattern used to locate packet boundaries). [1] * 'AVC1' for NALUs without start codes (framing needs to be provided out of band, for instance by providing a length field for each packet). [1] Links: [1] http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd757808%28v=vs.85%29.aspx *** VC1 *** VC1 streams have different content based on the profile. VC1 Advanced profile has start codes and Main and Simple profile relies on the Transport Layer to provide frame start and length. For VC1 AP the stream content is defined Annex E. For VC1 SP and MP the streamz by Annex J and Annex L of the SMPTE 421M. "In the advanced profile, pictures and slices shall be byte-aligned and carried in a bitstream data unit (as described in Annex E). Each new picture or a slice, is detected via start-codes as defined in Annex E. In the simple and main profiles,pictures shall be byte-aligned. For each coded picture, the pointer to the coded bitstream, and its size shall be communicated to the decoder by the Transport Layer. In simple and main profiles, a picture whose coded size is less than or equal to one byte shall be considered to be a skipped picture." SMPTE 421M Draft [2] Following fourccs are proposed: * 'WVC1' for VC1 Advanced Profile [1] * 'WMV3' for VC1 Main and Simple profiles [1] Links: [1] http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=VC1 - Fourccs used by Microsoft [2] http://multimedia.cx/mirror/s421m.pdf - Proposed SMPTE Standard *** DivX *** It is reasonable that versions 3.11, 4 and 5 should have different fourccs. According to the document I have, there also were important changes and bugfixes done in DivX 5.0.3. Hence I propose to have a separate fourcc for DivX versions 5.0.0-5.0.2. Following fourccs are proposed: * 'DIV3' for DivX 3.11 * 'DIV4' for DivX 4.x * 'DX50' for Divx 5.0.0-5.0.2 * 'DIV5' for Divx 5.0.3 and newer There are quite a few differences between versions 5.0 - 5.02 and 5.0.3. Those include: - quarter pixel motion compensation follows the algorithm described in the Corrigendum 2 of the ISO/IEC 14496-2 document. (versions prior to 5.0.3 had used the algorithm described in a previous document) - new deringing algorithm - motion vectors are stored in a different way I appreciate your comments.
