Versatile Video Codec binaries

Versatile Video Codec binaries has available two tools for you to choose.

Fraunhofer HHI (vvenc/vvdec)

Fraunhofer HHI VVC binaries is just standard easy tool, which allows to encode & decode with arguments and also encodes good quality for slow preset, but it may be slow...

  • C++14 programming language
  • Supports Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD, Android, iOS & WebAssembly.
  • SIMDE: SCALAR, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, AVX512 (unsupported yet), NEON (arm only) and WASM (Web browsers only).
  • Faster speeding up for newer computer machine of CPUs.
  • Preset can be used from faster to slower.
  • Includes advanced tool of encode (vvencFFapp)
  • Two-pass control of bitrate is only allowed.
  • Default encoding pixel format is 10-bit.
  • For decoding, it can output to YUV, Y4M or pipe.
  • Lossless encoding (only for vvencFFapp with CostMode argument)

uvg266 (VVC Scalable encoder tool)

uvg266 is only scalable encoder which helps to make it faster for older & newer computers, but still a bit good quality than vvenc, seems okay.

  • C99 programming language
  • Supports Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD, Android & iOS.
  • SIMDE: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, NEON & AltiVec (PowerPC only).
  • Can only encode 8-bit VVC output for rest operating system supported, but for 10-bit needs compiled with definition, this only works for Android users.
  • Faster encoding scalable of old & new computers than vvenc.
  • Supports presets from ultrafast to placebo like x264 presets, however it is recommended to use from faster to slower to avoid VVC decoding fail issue.
  • Lossless encoding, but not recommended due decoding fail.

Downloads

NOTE: uvg266 compiled by same architectures supported of vvenc & vvdec.

All compiled builds are compressed files on 7-Zip.

Android x86_64/x86/arm64/armv7a Download or 10-bit build

Comparisions between vvenc/vvdec and uvg266

If you're using newer computer or/and you wanted it to encode 10-bit with fast encoding to get good quality, use vvenc recommended.

If you're using older computer or/and more faster encoding of 8-bit than vvenc, use uvg266 recommended.

Also for decoding, use vvdec and also it is faster decoding for older (possible) & newer computers.
