История версий и изменений программы VP6

6.1.0.2 (01.01.1970)
· Achieves a 10-15% improvement over VP6 beta. · Now supports Multi-pass encoding. · Highly configurable (constant or variable) datarate control. · Direct access to the reconstruction buffer. · Improves Error recovery. · Multiple platform support (Intel, Equator, TI, PowerPC). · Compresses high-definition (HD) material with no restrictions on the encoder. VP6 can play back 1920x1080 HD material on a 2.5 GHz PC and 1280x720 material on a 1.5 GHz PC. · Supports real-time encoding at full D1 resolution. · Up to 40% image quality improvement over VP5. · Up to 50% faster playback than VP5. · Optimized to produce the best quality video available on high-resolution material (640x480 and higher). · Designed for inexpensive DSP processors. VP6 is ideal for embedded chipsets in non-PC devices and set-top boxes. Unlike some standards-based codecs (JVT, MPEG-4 v10), VP6 runs on general-purpose DSPs without requiring expensive add-on subprocessors. · VP6 is a purely software-based solution that can be upgraded easily. · Introduces predefined "profiles": Simple for fast playback on inexpensive processors, General for full D1 on set-top boxes, and Advanced for ensuring the best quality possible at extremely low datarates. · Achieves any requested data rate by choosing automatically to adjust quantization levels, adjust encoded frame dimensions, or drop frames altogether. · Carries no burdensome "patent pooling" restrictions or complicated external licensing fees.
