What's your experience with DivX HEVC implementation?
Just FYI, the DivX implementation was already brought up here. And yes, the results haven't been too mind-blowing yet. That said, I wonder how much more information, settings and other things can be picked out of the actual MainConcept encoder included (mc_enc_hevc.dll) that is used in the background. After all, it does export some functions and I wouldn't be surprised if with some code you would be able to encode without the DivX application itself in the middle .

Yes, the HEVC standard has been finalized. ISO/IEC is just taking it slow for whatever reason and thus they still don't have the spec ratified on their side, but ITU-T has already ratified it in April as H.265 (spec). Bit stream was more or less frozen in January. And yes, both sides are ratifying the exact same document ^^; .

And it's more like 2003. Or possibly 2004, since the implementations are maturing somewhat faster than with AVC/H.264 .
