Creates a merge between the master and experimental branches. Fixes a
number of conflicts in the build system to allow *either* VP8 or VP9
to be built. Specifically either:
$ configure --disable-vp9 $ configure --disable-vp8
--disable-unit-tests
VP9 still exports its symbols and files as VP8, so that will be
resolved in the next commit.
Unit tests are broken in VP9, but this isn't a new issue. They are
fixed upstream on origin/experimental as of this writing, but rebasing
this merge proved difficult, so will tackle that in a second merge
commit.

When using 'make dist' after --disable-vp8[encoder|decoder] it would
fail to recognize the option. This would only occur when also specifying
--enable-install-docs and --enable-install-srcs but not
--enable-codec-srcs
Including vpx/ fixes builds with --enable-codec-srcs
vpx_timer.h is also required for vpxenc.c

This is a code snapshot of experimental work currently ongoing for a
next-generation codec.
The codebase has been cut down considerably from the libvpx baseline.
For example, we are currently only supporting VBR 2-pass rate control
and have removed most of the code relating to coding speed, threading,
error resilience, partitions and various other features. This is in
part to make the codebase easier to work on and experiment with, but
also because we want to have an open discussion about how the bitstream
will be structured and partitioned and not have that conversation
constrained by past work.
Our basic working pattern has been to initially encapsulate experiments
using configure options linked to #IF CONFIG_XXX statements in the
code. Once experiments have matured and we are reasonably happy that
they give benefit and can be merged without breaking other experiments,
we remove the conditional compile statements and merge them in.
Current changes include:
* Temporal coding experiment for segments (though still only 4 max, it
will likely be increased).
* Segment feature experiment - to allow various bits of information to
be coded at the segment level. Features tested so far include mode
and reference frame information, limiting end of block offset and
transform size, alongside Q and loop filter parameters, but this set
is very fluid.
* Support for 8x8 transform - 8x8 dct with 2nd order 2x2 haar is used
in MBs using 16x16 prediction modes within inter frames.
* Compound prediction (combination of signals from existing predictors
to create a new predictor).
* 8 tap interpolation filters and 1/8th pel motion vectors.
* Loop filter modifications.
* Various entropy modifications and changes to how entropy contexts and
updates are handled.
* Extended quantizer range matched to transform precision improvements.
There are also ongoing further experiments that we hope to merge in the
near future: For example, coding of motion and other aspects of the
prediction signal to better support larger image formats, use of larger
block sizes (e.g. 32x32 and up) and lossless non-transform based coding
options (especially for key frames). It is our hope that we will be
able to make regular updates and we will warmly welcome community
contributions.
Please be warned that, at this stage, the codebase is currently slower
than VP8 stable branch as most new code has not been optimized, and
even the 'C' has been deliberately written to be simple and obvious,
not fast.
The following graphs have the initial test results, numbers in the
tables measure the compression improvement in terms of percentage. The
build has the following optional experiments configured:
--enable-experimental --enable-enhanced_interp --enable-uvintra
--enable-high_precision_mv --enable-sixteenth_subpel_uv

Makes the distribution tree (built with 'make dist') buildable with

The example encoder down-samples the input video frames a number of
times with a down-sampling factor, and then encodes and outputs
bitstreams with different resolutions.
Support arbitrary down-sampling factor, and down-sampling factor
can be different for each encoding level.
For example, the encoder can be tested as follows.
1. Configure with multi-resolution encoding enabled:
../libvpx/configure --target=x86-linux-gcc --disable-codecs
--enable-vp8 --enable-runtime_cpu_detect --enable-debug
--disable-install-docs --enable-error-concealment
--enable-multi-res-encoding
2. Run make
3. Encode:
If input video is 1280x720, run:
./vp8_multi_resolution_encoder 1280 720 input.yuv 1.ivf 2.ivf 3.ivf 1
(output: 1.ivf(1280x720); 2.ivf(640x360); 3.ivf(320x180).
The last parameter is set to 1/0 to show/not show PSNR.)
4. Decode:
./simple_decoder 1.ivf 1.yuv
./simple_decoder 2.ivf 2.yuv
./simple_decoder 3.ivf 3.yuv
5. View video:
mplayer 1.yuv -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=1280:h=720 -loop 0 -fps 30
mplayer 2.yuv -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=640:h=360 -loop 0 -fps 30
mplayer 3.yuv -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=320:h=180 -loop 0 -fps 30
The encoding parameters can be modified in vp8_multi_resolution_encoder.c,
for example, target bitrate, frame rate...
Modified API. John helped a lot with that. Thanks!

Added the ability to create rate-targeted, temporally
scalable, VP8 compatible bitstreams.
The application vp8_scalable_patterns.c demonstrates how
to use this capability. Users can create output bitstreams
containing upto 5 temporally separable streams encoded
as a single VP8 bitstream.

The error-concealer is plugged in after any motion vectors have been
decoded. It tries to estimate any missing motion vectors from the
motion vectors of the previous frame. Intra blocks with missing
residual are replaced with inter blocks with estimated motion vectors.
This feature was developed in a separate sandbox
(sandbox/holmer/error-concealment).

Always use CFLAGS/LDFLAGS that point to headers and libvpx.a inside our

Adds following targets to configure script to support RVCT compilation
without operating system support (for Profiler or bare metal images).
- armv5te-none-rvct
- armv6-none-rvct
- armv7-none-rvct
To strip OS specific parts from the code "os_support"-config was added
to script and CONFIG_OS_SUPPORT flag is used in the code to exclude OS
specific parts such as OS specific includes and function calls for
timers and threads etc. This was done to enable RVCT compilation for
profiling purposes or running the image on bare metal target with
Lauterbach.
Removed separate AREA directives for READONLY data in armv6 and neon
assembly files to fix the RVCT compilation. Otherwise
"ldr <reg>, =label" syntax would have been needed to prevent linker
errors. This syntax is not supported by older gnu assemblers.

STDIO streams are opened in text mode by default on Windows. This patch
changes the stdin/stdout streams to be in binary mode if they are being
used for I/O from the vpxenc or vpxdec tools.

The new WebM output support should be preferred to IVF, but we can't
change the default behavior of the ivf* tools. There are a few other
default behaviors for these tools that are counterintuitive for
historical reasons, and changing the binary name provides the
opportunity to clean those up as well. This patch takes the first
step by renaming the binaries.

This patch adds the --webm option, to allow the creation of WebM streams

This patch enables ivfdec to decode WebM files. WebM demuxing is
provided by the Matthew Gregan's Nestegg library.
This patch also makes minor changes to the timebase->framerate
handling when doing Y4M output. For WebM files, the framerate is
guessed by looking at the first second of video. For IVF files,
the timebase=1/(2*fps) hack is still in place, but is only used
if the timebase denominator is less than 1000. This is in anticipation
of change I8d25b5b, which introduces the distinction between
framerate and timebase to ivfenc. In the case of high resolution
timebases, like 100ns, we would have to guess the framerate
like we do for WebM, but since WebM support in ivfenc will
deprecate IVF output, we just assume 30fps rather than writing the
lookahead code.

This renames the vpx_codec/ directory to vpx/, to allow applications
to more consistently reference these includes with the vpx/ prefix.
This allows the includes to be installed in /usr/local/include/vpx
rather than polluting the system includes directory with an
excessive number of includes.

Split the 'make install' target into two: install and dist. dist
retains the old make install behavior of building a "distribution"
release, with source files, build system, etc. install does what
one one expects -- installs into a tree in the filesystem, /usr/local
by default.
