Fraunhofer Versatile Video Encoder (VVenC)

Fast and highly efficient VVC software encoding

The Fraunhofer Versatile Video Encoder (VVenC) is a fast and efficient "real-world" VVC encoder implementation with the following main features:

  • Easy to use encoder implementation with five predefined quality/speed presets;
  • Perceptual optimization to improve subjective video quality;
  • Frame-level rate control supporting VBR encoding;
  • Expert mode encoder interface available, allowing fine-grained control of the encoding process.

More information on how to access, build and use as well as the performance of VVenC can be found in the VVenC whitepaper
