Telenor Research distributed a free H.263 video encoder and decoder. The code is not optimized. Note that H.263 is subject to a variety of patents and Telenor includes a disclaimer with the code. Telenor appears to have ceased distributing the code, although it is still undoubtedly available somewhere on the Web. http://www.fou.telenor.no/brukere/DVC/h263_software/ For a time, the Signal Processing and Multimedia Group at the University of British Columbia distributed a free H.263+ video encoder and decoder. They also appear to have ceased distribution. Their code appears to be available for a licensing fee. http://spmg.ece.ubc.ca See also, their article (available in Adobe PDF format at their web site): “H.263+: Video Coding at Low Bit Rates”, Guy Cote, Berna Erol, Michael Gallant, and Faouzi Kossentini, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology, Vol. 8, No. 7, November 1998, p. 849-866 Return to Top Where to get C Source Code for an MPEG Video Encoder or Decoder?
