How to Generate Skip Frame in H264/AVC and in HEVC
There is a notion as skip-frame in video coding – the frame which is exactly the same as the previous reference. In screen coding and in computer graphics generated content skip frames are not uncommon. How to generate skip-frame in H264 and in HEVC? Two approaches: 1) P skip frame in H264 […]

Apple ProRes with ffmpeg
Apple ProRes is a particular standard (different from H.264/AVC) developed by Apple to replace M-JPEG. ProRes is tailored to support 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 video with 8,10 and 12 bits per sample. The ProRes codec (both encoder and decoder) is supported by ffmpeg (by default). ffmpeg -codecs | findstr prores DEVIL. prores Apple ProRes (iCodec Pro) […]
Python Script to Check PCR Integrity
The python script PcrAnalysis.py is tailored to check PCR integrity (or timing integrity) of MPEG TS stream. This script analyzes: whether PCR interval is smaller or equal to 100ms (as required by MPEG System standard). If not a violation is reported. whether PCR values are monotonic unless the discontinuity flag is set. If not a […]
