Highly Efficient Video Codec for Entertainment-Quality.

We present a novel video codec for supporting entertainment-quality video. It has new coding tools such as an intra prediction with offset, integer sine transform, and enhanced block-based adaptive loop filter. These tools are used adaptively in the processing of intra prediction, transform, and loop filtering. In our experiments, the proposed codec achieved an average reduction of 13.35% in BD-rate relative to H.264/AVC for 720p sequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
