# VVCEasy (Windows, Mac OS, Linux & Android) (by Martin Eesmaa)
|
||
VVCEasy is that you don't have to compile or/and coding to encode VVC (known as Versatile Video Codec). Simple, Easy, Encode and Decode.
|
||
|
||
VVCEasy comes to one-easy command of ffmpeg, VVC Tools, python, VLC o266player, VVDEC Web Player, Bitmovin VVDec Player, YUView, libvvdec and more.
|
||
|
||
Installation: Go to the releases and download latest version.
|
||
|
||
Windows source run (Batchfile): VVCEasy.bat
|
||
|
||
Windows/Mac/Linux source run (Csharp): Bin/Release or Debug/netX.x/VVCEasy.exe (after build of C#), this requires VVCEasy.dll to run console application.

# VLC InterDigital VTM VVC Plugin
|
||
|
||
I have a great news. VLC latest version worked out well of Inter Digital VTM plugins. On o266player, there was some problems on my computer for one reason...
|
||
|
||
One reason that my Windows 11 operating system won't view video of VVC file on o266player version. On VTM plugins of VLC, now it shows me VVC video good.
|
||
|
||
Here is a my comparision of o266player version and VTM VVC plugins:
|
||
|
||
Top left and right is o266player by Tencent Cloud.
|
||
|
||
Bottom left and right is VLC VTM plugins by Inter Digital Inc.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
***UPDATE of 19/04/2022 00:20 AEST:***
|
||
|
||
Bug of Inter Digital VTM VLC Plugin:
|
||
|
||
When you try to play your MPEG-TS or TS file, it will crash with your InterDigital VLC VTM Plugin installed on your VLC Media Player.
|
||
|
||
Without InterDigital VLC VTM Plugin, playing MPEG-TS or TS file will play fine in your all original plugins (except VLC VTM Plugin) on your VLC Media Player.

# Compile for VVCEasy
|
||
|
||
### VVCEasy Batchfile Version (optional) (Windows only)
|
||
|
||
First, before you compile to VVCEasy Batchfile Version, you need Inno Setup to compile VVCEasy.
|
||
Inno Setup link: https://jrsoftware.org/isdl.php
|
||
|
||
Step 1: Clone VVCEasy git and open VVCEasy_compiler.iss
|
||
```
|
||
cd %userprofile%\Downloads
|
||
git clone https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/VVCEasy && cd VVCEasy
|
||
VVCEasy_compiler.iss
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Step 2: Before you compile, please replace example username by your username of LicenseFile, OutputDir and Source. See the image:
|
||
|
||
|
||
Step 3: Once you replaced of your username, press F9 to compile on your keyboard. After compiling, VVCEasy.exe (Installer) will be on your Downloads folder.
|
||
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### VVCEasy .NET Console Version (optional)
|
||
|
||
First, before you compile to VVCEasy .NET Console Version, you need .NET SDK x64 from Microsoft.
|
||
Link: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download
|
||
|
||
Step 1: Clone git and cd VVCEasy
|
||
```
|
||
git clone https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/VVCEasy && cd VVCEasy
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Step 2: Before you build, make sure to build and test it. Don't worry, when you build with .NET, it will restore project and build.
|
||
```
|
||
dotnet build && dotnet test --no-build --verbosity normal
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Step 3: Once building is done, the build folder directory is bin/Debug
|
||
```
|
||
cd bin/debug
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
*Tip: You can run VVCEasy without building.*
|
||
```
|
||
dotnet run
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
# Encode/Decode (easy)
|
||
|
||
Before you run VVCEasy.bat or VVCEasy.exe, you need to change from your input video file name into input.mp4 (as example)
|
||
Follow the instructions, the commands will give your options. Since 21 October 2021, VVCEasy is pre-release, but it's construction mode, but you can have a look with .BAT source code.

# Without VVCEasy, experimental option for professional coders, other developers, and everyone (hard)
|
||
|
||
You need 7-Zip (requires ffmpeg and ffplay), ffmpeg, ffplay, vvenc/vvdec(app) and YUView.
|
||
|
||
Here are the links:
|
||
FFMPEG/FFPLAY: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-full.7z (go to bin folder and extract two files of ffmpeg and ffplay)
|
||
VVENC/VVDEC (Windows, Mac and Linux):
|
||
Windows: https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/VVCEasy/blob/master/WindowsVVC/WindowsVVC.7z
|
||
Mac: https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/VVCEasy/tree/master/MacOSVVC/MacOSVVC.7z
|
||
Linux: https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/VVCEasy/blob/master/LinuxVVC/LinuxVVC.7z
|
||
|
||
YUView:
|
||
https://github.com/IENT/YUView/releases
|
||
|
||
Before we start, you need to make path environments for ffmpeg, ffplay and vvenc/vvdec to make easily.
|
||
In Command Prompt (Windows):
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Users\blah\Downloads\VVCEasy\Executables
|
||
```
|
||
Verify path using Windows Command Prompt/Windows Terminal (CMD):
|
||
```
|
||
path
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
First:
|
||
Transcode any video formats to YUV/Y4M
|
||
|
||
**We recommend that you use from video to yuv/y4m for pixel format YUV420P, because YUV420P is smaller size than YUV420P10.**
|
||
|
||
**VVENC only supports pixel formats of YUV420 (8-bit) and YUV420_10 (10-bit), otherwise it will corrupt after vvc encoding.**
|
||
|
||
For YUV transcode (lossy from web quality, YouTube videos and others):
|
||
```
|
||
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -pix_fmt yuv420p inputtranscode.yuv
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For Y4M transcode (lossless from uncompressed video files, only 8 bit):
|
||
```
|
||
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -pix_fmt yuv420p inputtranscode.y4m
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Verify uncompressed video using ffplay before encode to VVENC (important add video size after the input file, else it will not correctly show video like scrambled eggs video):
|
||
```
|
||
ffplay inputtranscode.yuv -video_size 1280x720
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Default pixel format of ffplay for yuv and y4m is yuv420p without `-pix_fmt` command.
|
||
|
||
For y4m, replace `-i inputtranscode.yuv` with `-i inputtranscode.y4m`. In `-c:v wrapped_avframe` for y4m only, so you can verify to play Y4M (wrapped_avframe) for VLC, FFplay or MPV player. For yuv420p10 on your input video 10 bit, add `-pix_fmt yuv420p10`.
|
||
|
||
Playing ffplay for y4m video with wrapped_avframe, you don't need to put anything commands, just simple play this:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
ffplay transcoded.y4m
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For easy to verify YUV/Y4M, use YUView, open your YUV or Y4M encoded, make sure video size, YUV/Y4M format and frame rate same like from input video file (e.g. MP4, AVI, MKV and others.
|
||
|
||
After verifying correctly your YUV/Y4M video
|
||
Encode with VVENC (Simple settings, example)
|
||
```
|
||
vvencapp -i out.yuv -s 854x480 -r 30 -o vvc.266
|
||
```
|
||
`-s` means video size, `-r` means frame per second and `-o` means output. Note: (Simple) as Default settings is YUV420P (8-bit)
|
||
|
||
TIP: You could do alternative without taking much disk space for uncompressed video (Y4M, Recommended):
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
ffmpeg -i example.mp4 -pix_fmt yuv420p -f yuv4mpegpipe - | vvencapp --y4m -i - --preset medium --qp 35 -o converted.266
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**PRO TIP: VVENC can detect your fps and video size for y4m file format, so you don't need insert video size and frame per second of vvenc.**
|
||
|
||
**WARNING of vvenc pipe: VVENC does not support two-pass mode only when using pipe call/read from FFmpeg to vvenc.**
|
||
|
||
Or, you could do legacy of YUV pipe video:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
ffmpeg -i example.mp4 -pix_fmt yuv420p -f rawvideo - | vvencapp -i - -s 1920x1080 -r 25 --preset medium --qp 35 -o converted.266
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**WARNING: If you encode from yuv/y4m of your frame rate is 11.988, 14.985, 23.976, 29.970 or 59.940 FPS, replace this command -r by --fps.**
|
||
|
||
11.988 fps = `--fps 12000/1001`
|
||
|
||
14.985 fps = `--fps 15000/1001`
|
||
|
||
23.976 fps = `--fps 24000/1001`
|
||
|
||
29.970 fps = `--fps 30000/1001`
|
||
|
||
59.940 fps = `--fps 60000/1001`
|
||
|
||
The default of VVENC: Quantization Parameter is 32 and preset is medium.
|
||
|
||
If you want to get smaller video size and lossy video, add `--qp 38`. (for web video or anything)
|
||
|
||
If you want to get lossless video without losing quality (visually lossless, minimum loss quality), use QP 16-19 and preset slow (optional slower). (Recommended for movies, camera footages or anything)
|
||
|
||
Lossy video/Smallest video size:
|
||
```
|
||
vvencapp --qp 38 -i out.yuv -s 854x480 -r 30 -o vvc.266
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**NOTE 1: If you want have true lossless on your video, please visit [FFV1](http://ffv1.org) or H.264 Lossless video codec**
|
||
|
||
**NOTE 1.1: VVENC does not support lossless.**
|
||
|
||
Lossless video (visually lossless) (or compress smaller than preset slow, use --preset slower):
|
||
```
|
||
vvencapp --qp 18 -i out.yuv -s 854x480 -r 30 --preset slow -o vvc.266
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For Apple Mac OS and Linux terminal users: Command with `./vvencapp`
|
||
|
||
For Windows Users using Windows PowerShell: Command with `.\vvencapp`
|
||
|
||
Encode with VVENC (Best settings (visually lossless), replace video size (`-s`), framerate (`-r`) and maximize threads of your cores (`--threads`), example) (Minimum loss quality) If you want true lossless video, use FFV1 latest version 3.4. (Necessary make smaller file (slower) than preset slow, use `--preset slower`)
|
||
```
|
||
vvencapp --qp 18 -i out.yuv -s 854x480 -r 30 --preset slow --threads 16 --tier high -o EXTREME.266
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
NOTE: It is acceptable only for encoding to .h266, .266 and .vvc file container.
|
||
|
||
Note to 10-bit YUV users: If you encode YUV 10 bit to VVC file, add `-c yuv420_10` before you type ending word of -o EXTREME.266.
|
||
|
||
Note to 8-bit Y4M users: It is only from input video (8-bit) to Y4M (8 bit)
|
||
|
||
After VVEnc, you can play in YUView of latest version.
|
||
Drag any your video file of .h266, .266 or .vvc to play. YUView will play your video only about 10 seconds’ limit.
|
||
|
||
If you are still not happy about VVC (known as Versatile Video Coding), that you think is too hard to encode and decode, use AOMEDIA ONE (AV1) that is recommended for most users to easily play VLC Media Player and others. VVC should need played on VLC Media Player in future.

||
Yes... but I'm not real creator of VVC, I didn't built VVC, it was Fraunhofer HHI that he built VVC.
|
||
|
||
Are you trying to work build of VVCEasy?
|
||
Well yes... it takes longer time to make VVCEasy easier, but VVCEasy is not yet finished until further/update announcement. I don't have a employees, so I'm only the one.
|
||
|
||
Is it okay to bring my proof screenshots of errors?
|
||
I allow you to bring error screenshots, you can bring proof. More proofs, easier to solve it.
|
||
|
||
My question is not listed on FAQ. Can I ask any question to you?
|
||
Sure, just go to Issues tab, ask questions or/and give your issue to me, I'd be happy to help :).
|
||
|
||
Do you know what you have skills in your programming?
|
||
I know about Batch file and HTML programmer. Some hard programming languages might be difficult to me :/.
|
||
Update of 19th February 2022: Maybe I should make C# Console program, that will be easy of Windows, Mac and Linux multi support.
|
