Both CMake GUI and the command-line CMake return errors, certainly because the current "cmake files" are incomplete.
Also, please stop assuming that Visual Studio is the only way to compile programs on Windows.
Specially for command-line applications, µ$oft Visual Studio is overkill.

Both boost and havoc could be added as ExternalProject dependencies via CMake, with boost as a system dependency by default.

• Boost
  • Check usage of boost libraries, and confirm compatibility with mainline
• Havoc
  • Need to evaluate licensing issues

Currently the build is tested on gcc 4.8.2 and 4.8.4, with travis testing on gcc 5.

Turingcodec should be tested on at least the following compilers/operating systems:

• Linux
  • gcc 6
  • clang 3.8
• macOS
  • gcc 6
  • Xcode Clang
• FreeBSD
  • Clang 3.8.0
  • Clang 3.0 Not supported.
  • gcc 6

Note that travis-ci can test all the macOS and Linux compilers, and should be easy to setup. The issue is that turingcodec doesn't currently compile on these configurations.

There are claims made about "high perceptual qualities" and "good compression performance".

Has there been any effort to quantify Turing Codec's compression performance? Could the results be made available? Is it likely that Turing Codec could be evaluated by MSU in their regular encoder comparisons or added to the AreWeCompressedYet benchmarks?

Hi,

I want to know whether it is possible to use the encoder/decoder using DirectShow API?
For example there is a Camera Software SDK Common Vision Blox from STEMMER IMAGING. They have a so called 'Movie2' SDK which has possibility to record camera video and save it using the specified encoder to disk. Movie2 should support every encoder that can be invoked using DirectShow. How can I register turingcodec to DirectShow API on my windows system? Does that even work?

Thanks in advance, some clarifying of this would help me alot.
Have a nice weekend.

Havoc does not build with clang (main compiler on MacOSX, FreeBSD and soon some Linux distributions) and does not support non-x86 platforms (e.g. Power8 and server-grade arm64).

I assume there is some patents involved, is there is patent grant? a clear statement over patents, usages and distribution rights is needed.

Hello@matteonaccari,
I have download these codec, but they can NOT compiled. Error is reported:
turingcodec/havoc/pred_inter.h:35: error：expected unqualified-id before ‘using’

g++ version:4.4.7
contos 6.5
Could you tell me how to resolve this problem?Thank you very much

building on linux i end up witha executable called turing-exe -exe as a suffix is strange please remove it and just call the binary turing

for dumb people like me, who just want to use pls

Hi,

I've tried decoding HEVC mp4 file (encoded via x265 codec using ffmpeg)
I've got the following assert (x eqauls to 24 while Fixed<V>::value is 0 as far I understand the code)

How to reproduce : turing.exe decode --frames 1 c:\foo.hevc
Observed behavior: decoding is keep going even after 1 frame/picture has been decoded

It seems there is no call to StateDecode::stop() (I guess it should be called once in a while during the decode loop)

bool stop() const
{
    return this->maxPictures != 0 && this->n == this->maxPictures;
}

OSX home-brew x86_64 build:

set CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG -stdlib=libc++ -std=c++11 -fno-operator-names

Hi,

Does Turing Codec supports YUV 4:2:2 10bit encoding?
Is there any info on encoding capabilities?

Kind Regards,
