Detailed Description

VP8 is a video compression algorithm that uses motion compensated prediction, Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coding of the prediction error signal and context dependent entropy coding techniques based on arithmetic principles.

VP8 is vpx's newest video compression algorithm that uses motion compensated prediction, Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coding of the prediction error signal and context dependent entropy coding techniques based on arithmetic principles.

It features:

• YUV 4:2:0 image format
• Macro-block based coding (16x16 luma plus two 8x8 chroma)
• 1/4 (1/8) pixel accuracy motion compensated prediction
• 4x4 DCT transform
• 128 level linear quantizer
• In loop deblocking filter
• Context-based entropy coding
