  Description     : a free h264/avc encoder

x264 is a free library, written from scratch, for encoding H264/AVC video streams. 
It combines a highly efficient compression with excellent properties for streaming.

Encoder features:

    * CAVLC/CABAC
    * Multi-references
    * Intra: all macroblock types (16x16, 8x8, and 4x4 with all predictions)
    * Inter P: all partitions (from 16x16 down to 4x4)
    * Inter B: partitions from 16x16 down to 8x8 (including skip/direct)
    * Ratecontrol: constant quantizer, single or multipass ABR, optional VBV
    * Scene cut detection
    * Adaptive B-frame placement
    * B-frames as references / arbitrary frame order
    * 8x8 and 4x4 adaptive spatial transform
    * Lossless mode
    * Custom quantization matrices
    * Parallel encoding of multiple slices
