Editor: GLYUVPlay... In video coding research, standalone implementation and testing of video codecs often involves the use of raw YUV streams. Since these streams can be parsed and generated by very simple means, raw YUV files are very common in video codec standardization and development.
This utility provides RAW YUV Playback, comparison and conversion capabilities on MacOS X.
Since version 0.9, there is a raw export option available to save the input sequences in different RAW formats, resolutions and color depths. The algorithm for scaled output uses a high quality 16 tap windowed sinc filter (sinc windowed sinc aka Lanczos filter). Another change in v0.9 is the inclusion of multiple input formats, either 8 or 10 Bit in 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 subsampling.
Furthermore, RAW sequences can be converted (encoded) to any movie format supported by Quicktime (e.g. for use in presentations).
WHAT'S NEW
Version 0.95:
Snow Leopard compatibility (fixed window resizing problem)
support for Luma only sequences (YUV4:0:0, 8 Bit) in opening and saving
customizable filter lists for open dialog (manually via GLYUVPlay.plist)
