Video Encoding: A Complete Guide to Video Compression — From Pixels and Color to H.264, HEVC, AV1, Quality Metrics, and AI
This one-pager lists every intra-prediction mode in H.264, HEVC, AV1 and VVC, with block-size limits and the share of an I-frame each mode earns. Volume 1 covers spatial prediction in detail: pixels and colour, block partitioning, intra modes across H.264, HEVC and AV1, and the quality metrics that show which modes pay off. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
