OpenAPV 0.3 Adds APV RAW Encoding/Decoding Support

([Multimedia] 41 Minutes Ago OpenAPV 0.3)


OpenAPV, the Academy Software Foundation project that provides a reference implementation of the Advanced Professional Video (APV) codec is out with a new feature update.

APV is the leading open-source alternative to Apple's ProRes video codec that is supported from the likes of Samsung to DaVinci Resolve for high fidelity, high quality video content.

The big addition to the OpenAPV 0.3 professional video codec reference implementation is adding APV raw support. Both APV RAW video encoding and decoding are supported. A compressing and expanding algorithm for coding 16-bit 4-channel linear pixel value data is added and a new profile introduced for better differentiating APV and APV RAW formats.

If APV RAW support is of interest to you, learn more about the OpenAPV 0.3 release or downloads of the BSD-licensed software via [1]Academy Software Foundation on GitHub .

Once there was a marine biologist who loved dolphins. He spent his
time trying to feed and protect his beloved creatures of the sea. One day,
in a fit of inventive genius, he came up with a serum that would make
dolphins live forever!
Of course he was ecstatic. But he soon realized that in order to mass
produce this serum he would need large amounts of a certain compound that was
only found in nature in the metabolism of a rare South American bird. Carried
away by his love for dolphins, he resolved that he would go to the zoo and
steal one of these birds.
Unbeknownst to him, as he was arriving at the zoo an elderly lion was
escaping from its cage. The zookeepers were alarmed and immediately began
combing the zoo for the escaped animal, unaware that it had simply lain down
on the sidewalk and had gone to sleep.
Meanwhile, the marine biologist arrived at the zoo and procured his
bird. He was so excited by the prospect of helping his dolphins that he
absentmindedly stepped over the sleeping lion on his way back to his
car. Immediately, 1500 policemen converged on him and arrested him for
transporting a myna across a staid lion for immortal porpoises.
