libde265 - open h.265 codec implementation
==========================================
libde265 is an open source implementation of the h.265 video codec.
It is written from scratch and has a plain C API to enable
a simple integration into other software.
libde265 supports WPP and tile-based multithreading and includes SSE optimizations.
The decoder includes all features of the Main profile and correctly decodes almost all
conformance streams (see [[wiki page](https://github.com/strukturag/libde265/wiki/Decoder-conformance)]).
A list of supported features are available in the [wiki](https://github.com/strukturag/libde265/wiki/Supported-decoding-features).
For latest news check our website at http://www.libde265.org
The library comes with two example programs:
- dec265, a simple player for raw h.265 bitstreams.
It serves nicely as an example program how to use libde265.
- sherlock265, a Qt-based video player with the additional capability
to overlay some graphical representations of the h.265
bitstream (like CU-trees, intra-prediction modes).
Example bitstreams can be found, e.g., at this site:
ftp://ftp.kw.bbc.co.uk/hevc/hm-10.1-anchors/bitstreams/ra_main/
Approximate performance for WPP, non-tiles streams (measured using the `timehevc`
tool from [the GStreamer plugin](https://github.com/strukturag/gstreamer-libde265)).
The tool plays a Matroska movie to the GStreamer fakesink and measures
the average framerate.
| Resolution | avg. fps | CPU usage |
| ----------------- | -------- | --------- |
| [720p][1] | 284 fps | 39 % |
| [1080p][2] | 150 fps | 45 % |
| [4K][3] | 36 fps | 56 % |
Environment:
- Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2700K CPU @ 3.50GHz (4 physical CPU cores)
- Ubuntu 12.04, 64bit
- GStreamer 0.10.36

Building
========
[](https://github.com/strukturag/libde265/actions) [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/strukturag/libde265)
If you got libde265 from the git repository, you will first need to run
the included `autogen.sh` script to generate the `configure` script.
libde265 has no dependencies on other libraries, but both optional example programs
have dependencies on:
- SDL2 (optional for dec265's YUV overlay output),
- Qt (required for sherlock265),
- libswscale (required for sherlock265 if libvideogfx is not available).
- libvideogfx (required for sherlock265 if libswscale is not available,
optional for dec265).
Libvideogfx can be obtained from
http://www.dirk-farin.net/software/libvideogfx/index.html
or
http://github.com/farindk/libvideogfx
You can disable building of the example programs by running `./configure` with
<pre>
--disable-dec265 Do not build the dec265 decoder program.
--disable-sherlock265 Do not build the sherlock265 visual inspection program.
</pre>
Additional logging information can be turned on and off using these `./configure` flags:
<pre>
--enable-log-error turn on logging at error level (default=yes)
--enable-log-info turn on logging at info level (default=no)
--enable-log-trace turn on logging at trace level (default=no)
</pre>
Build using cmake
=================
cmake scripts to build libde265 and the sample scripts `dec265` and `enc265` are
included and can be compiled using these commands:
```
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
```
See the [cmake documentation](http://www.cmake.org) for further information on
using cmake on other platforms.
Building using vcpkg
====================
You can build and install libde265 using the [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/) dependency manager:
```
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
./vcpkg integrate install
./vcpkg install libde265
```
The libde265 port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please [create an issue or pull request](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) on the vcpkg repository.
Prebuilt binaries
=================
Binary packages can be obtained from this [launchpad site](https://launchpad.net/~strukturag/+archive/libde265).
