Template:Encoding with Daala

Encoding a Video

Test Media

If you do not have one, get a sample video or two in .y4m format from media.xiph.org. These videos are relatively large and will take a long time to encode. There are also subsets of 1 second long videos for faster encoding:

• video-1-short

We also maintain a set of still-image collections in .y4m format:

• Subset 1 (50 images, small training set)
• Subset 2 (50 images, small testing set)
• Subset 3 (1000 images, large training set)
• Subset 4 (1000 images, large testing set)

Using the encoder

Encode a video:

   ./examples/encoder_example -v 30 video.y4m -o video.ogv

where

• video.y4m is the input video you want to encode,
• video.ogv is the name of the encoded video file to output,
• -v specifies the quality (currently from 0 to 511, where 0 is lossless)
