In the digital world, with the rapid growth of the Internet and the introduction of high-definition media, compression is used to exploit limited storage and transmission capacity as efficiently as possible. H.264/AVC is the latest digital video codec standard. It has proven to be superior to earlier standards in terms of compression ratio, quality, bitrates and error resilience. However unlike Dirac, it requires payment of license / patent fees. The objective of this paper is to implement Dirac video codec(encoder and decoder) based on input test sequences, and compares its performance with H.264/AVC.
