It is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. x264 is
extraordinarily fast, with over 15,000 lines of assembly code and highly optimized
algorithms.

In terms of quality for general-purpose encoding, x264 outperforms every
other video encoder on the market. x264 is commonly used by companies ranging from
Youtube, Facebook to Hulu and Avail Media.

Command line: x264.exe --demuxer-threads (LOGICAL_CORES) -o NUL SVT_1080p50.mkv

Test sequence has been created using following uncompressed files:
crowd_run_1080p50.yuv  park_joy_1080p.yuv  ducks_take_off_1080p50.yuv
in_to_tree_1080p50.yuv  old_town_cross_1080p50.yuv

Due to large size of uncompressed footage (~7 GB) test sequence has been also compressed
to H.264/AVC ~30 mbps (x264 --preset placebo).

For stable results x264 encoder is always set to REAL TIME PRIORITY!
