openHEVC

openHEVC is a fork from smarter's libav git (smarter.free.fr) with only required files from libav to decode HEVC content. openHEVC in combination with GPAC is used into 3 research projects:

• 4EVER
• H2B2VS
• AUSTRAL

openHEVC is an open source compliant HEVC video decoder created as a fork of Libav for research purposes

• Prerequisites: SDL or SDL2
• go into source folder of openHEVC
• with SDL cd build; ./hevc -i name_of_annexB_bitstream.(bit,bin,265)

• How to embed HEVC into MP4 file format

---

• use i_main, lp_main, ld_main or ra_main bitstreams from http://ftp.kw.bbc.co.uk/hevc/hm-10.0-anchors/bitstreams/
• MP4Box -add name_of_annexB_bitstream.(bit,bin,265) -fps 50 -new output.mp4
  • where fps specifies the framerate (in the case of BQMall_832x480_60_qp22.bin the framerate is 60)
• MP4Client output.mp4 // to play HEVC mp4 content

• How to embed HEVC into TS

---

• use i_main, lp_main, ld_main or ra_main bitstreams from http://ftp.kw.bbc.co.uk/hevc/hm-10.0-anchors/bitstreams/
• go into gpac source folder
• cd bin/gcc
• ./mp42ts -prog=hevc.mp4 -dst-file=test.ts
• MP4Client test.ts // to play HEVC transport streams
