 "Multiview decoding in libavcodec and ffmpeg CLI" ( 2025 )

Sunday at 13:00, 40 minutes, K.3.401, K.3.401, Open Media Anton Khirnov , slides , video

The libavcodec library (part of the FFmpeg project) recently gained the ability to decode multiview HEVC (MV-HEVC) video, typically used for encoding stereoscopic 3D. This talk will cover the technical details of the implementation, associated support in ffmpeg CLI transcoder, and how it fits with recent and planned architectural changes.
