- FOURCCs: SVQ3
- Company: Sorenson Media
- Samples: http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/V-codecs/SVQ3/
Video codec apparently based on an early H.264 draft.
The decoder in FFmpeg produces heavy artifacting for some uncommon samples.
Decoding Process
This codec extensively uses Golomb coding.

Macroblock layer
Each macroblock starts with Golomb code signalling MB type:
- 0 - skip block
- 1-7 - inter 16x16 blocks, type specifies prediction direction
- 8 and 33 - intra 4x4 block (type 33 means that there are no coefficients for this block)
- 9-32 - intra 16x16 blocks, type is used to set prediction direction and coded block pattern
In any case coefficients are stored in 4x4 (sub)blocks.
Dezigzag pattern (from H.264):
o-->o-->o o | /| o o o / o | / | |/ | o o o o / o-->o-->o-->o
Coefficient decoding
Each coefficient is stored as Golomb codeword, last bit is coefficient sign, code = 0 means end of nonzero coefficients.
Codes for block type 3:
code | run | value |
---|---|---|
0-2 | 0 | code |
3 | 1 | 1 |
4-... | code & 0x3 | ((code + 9) >> 2) - run |
Codes for intra block types:
code | run | value |
---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 0 | 1 |
2 | 1 | 1 |
3 | 0 | 2 |
4 | 2 | 1 |
5 | 0 | 3 |
6 | 0 | 4 |
7 | 0 | 5 |
8 | 3 | 1 |
9 | 4 | 1 |
10 | 1 | 2 |
11 | 1 | 3 |
12 | 0 | 6 |
13 | 0 | 7 |
14 | 0 | 8 |
15 | 0 | 9 |
16-... | code & 0x7 | (code >> 3) - intra_run[run] |
Codes for inter block types:
code | run | value |
---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 0 | 1 |
2 | 1 | 1 |
3 | 2 | 1 |
4 | 0 | 2 |
5 | 3 | 1 |
6 | 4 | 1 |
7 | 5 | 1 |
8 | 0 | 3 |
9 | 1 | 2 |
10 | 2 | 2 |
11 | 6 | 1 |
12 | 7 | 1 |
13 | 8 | 1 |
14 | 9 | 1 |
15 | 0 | 4 |
16-... (inter) | code & 0xF | (code >> 4) - inter_run[run] |
Run correction values:
intra_run = { 8, 2, 0, 0, 0, -1, -1, -1, [minus ones] }; inter_run = { 4, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, [zeroes] };
Macroblock transform and dequantization
Transform coefficients:
13 17 1 7 13 7 -1 -17 13 -7 -1 17 13 -17 1 -7
Dequantization is performed by multiplying every coefficient by the same value determined by quantizer. In case if inter blocks first coefficient may be quantized slightly differently:
For some intra blocks (TODO: condition):
dc = 169 * 1538 * block[0]
For chroma blocks (?):
dc = (svq3_dequant_coeff[Q] * (block[0] >> 3)) >> 1;
Quantizer table (from svq3.c)
static const uint32_t svq3_dequant_coeff[32] = { 3881, 4351, 4890, 5481, 6154, 6914, 7761, 8718, 9781, 10987, 12339, 13828, 15523, 17435, 19561, 21873, 24552, 27656, 30847, 34870, 38807, 43747, 49103, 54683, 61694, 68745, 77615, 89113,100253,109366,126635,141533 };
Dequantization formula (dc=0 if not defined otherwise):
out = (coeff * svq3_dequant_coeff[Q] + dc + 0x80000) >> 20;
