For this review, I took a first look at encoding VVC (Versatile Video Coding). Specifically, I compared Fraunhofer HHI’s implementation of the VVC codec (Versatile Video Encoder; VVenC) against the Alliance for Open Media’s (AOMedia) aomenc codec and the x.264 and x.265 codecs in FFmpeg. I found VVenC to be simple to use and much faster than expected. Its output …

Since he’s asking, I thought others might be curious as well; hence this blog post that largely incorporates my responses to his questions, all relating to encoding H.264 files.
