As well-known, JVT (a joint video team between MPEG and VCEG) has achieved great success in the standardization of the state-of-the-art video compression, including H.264/AVC, SVC, and MVC. The academic and industry want to continue the success in the collaboration between MPEG and VCEG. Some proposals from VCEG suggest the H.NGVC (or H.265) standardization should be collaboratively done with MPEG to produce a significantly advanced video coding standard and to avoid producing multiple similar standards, which confuse the market. VCEG agrees that conducting this work jointly with MPEG will be beneficial to avoid duplication of efforts in this area. Therefore, in this MPEG London meeting, a joint meeting between MPEG and VCEG discusses the future collaboration. However, the collaboration method arouses a lot of controversy, focusing on which one of the following practical experiences should be chosen:

In the last MPEG meeting, MPEG issued a Call for Evidence (CfE) on High-performance Video Coding (HVC). Nine responses to the CfE are received in this meeting (89th MPEG London). Those reponse proposals adopt typical coding tools in KTA, such as adaptive loop filter (ALF), extended macroblock size (EMS), larger transform size (LTS), internal bit depth increasing (IBDI), adaptive quantization matrix selection (AQMS), as well as new tools, such as modified intra prediction, modified de-block filter, decoder-side motion vector derviation (DMVD).
The objective experimental results show that 20% average bit reduction is achieved compared with H.264/AVC High Profile for all classes of test video sequences (Class A: 19%, Class B:25%, Class C:22%, Class D: 15% bit reductions, respectively). Subjective evalution is also conducted during this meeting. The purpose of subjective evaluation is identifying examples that give the best evidence and assessing whether the evidence is large enough.

The 89th MPEG / 31st JVT / 38th VCEG meetings are hosted by the Centre for Digital Music, School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science of Queen Mary University of London, UK.
I will go to London to attend the meetings, and will report the progress in good time. Keep an eye on this website!

In the 37th VCEG meeting,  held in Yokohama on April 15-18, a potential “NGVC” project standing for next-generation video coding was discussed, which could mean either an extension of H.264/AVC or a new standard, depending on which form of standardization is determined to be appropriate for the technology design.
The preliminary requirements of the NGVC project focus on the following areas.
1. Coding efficiency:
2. Complexity:
3. Applications:

Hello, everybody, welcome to H265.net!
This blog is dedicated to the development of H.265 that is still in its infancy. Not only does this blog records the events of H.265, but it also discusses the (potential) techniques for H.265, i.e., the proposals in VCEG. Please feel free to post your comments and suggestions, no matter you are a beginner or an expert.
