YUView
QT based YUV player with an advanced analytic toolset
YUView is a Qt based YUV player with an advanced analytic toolset for Linux, Windows and Mac. At its core, YUView is a powerful YUV player that can open and show almost any YUV format. With its simple interface it is easy to navigate through sequences and inspect details and a side by side and comparison view can help to spot differences between two sequences. A sophisticated statistics renderer can overlay the video with supplemental information. More features include playlists, support for visual tests and presentations, support of compressed formats (through libde265 and FFmpeg), support for raw RGB files as well as image files and image sequences, and many more.
YUView is a YUV image player and analysis tool. However, it can do so much more:
- simple navigation/zooming in the video
- support for a wide variety of YUV formats using various subsamplings and bit depts
- support for raw RGB files, image files and image sequences
- direct decoding of raw h.265/HEVC bitstreams with visualization of internals like prediction modes and motion vectors and many more
- interface with visualization for the reference software decoders HM and JEM
- support for opening almost any file using FFmpeg
- image comparison using side-by-side and comparison view
- calculation and display of differences (in YUV or RGB colorspace)
- save and load playlists
- overlay the video with statistics data . Note: YUV is kind of RAW image format stored by color spaces. Y stands for luminance component, so it's in black-and-white, while UV are chromatic parts of the image.
