Overview
What is Huffyuv?
Huffyuv is a very fast, lossless Win32 video codec. "Lossless" means that the output from the decompressor is bit-for-bit identical with the original input to the compressor. "Fast" means a compression throughput of up to 38 megabytes per second on my 416 MHz Celeron.
In depth
A closer look at Huffyuv
Huffyuv is intended to replace uncompressed YUV as a video capture format. It is fast enough to compress full-resolution CCIR 601 video (720 x 480 x 30fps) in real time as it's captured on my machine. Huffyuv also supports lossless compression of RGB data, so it can be used for the output of programs like VirtualDub.
To install Huffyuv, right click on huffyuv.inf and select "Install."
What's New in This Release:
· * Added "Reduced resolution". This will save your file in HALF the orginal resolution, and upscale the video on the fly. Lossy, but very fast!
· * HuffYUV is now storing interlaced mode in the AVI-file. Now interlaced files are properly decoded!
· * Added MMX optimized YUV -> RGB conversion routines.
· * HuffYUV will now suggest to store RGB32 (RGB with alpha), even if it is disabled. Alpha information will however be removed when on.
· * HuffYUV should now support all resolutions flawlessly. Do however not that it is not recommended to use a resolution that isn't divideable by 8, when using Reduced Resolution, and YUY2 naturally must med divideable by 2.
· * Minor General speedup of some internal routines. Should be a bit faster than older versions.
