A new video encoder proposal, H.26L, is compared against H.263 and H.263+. In the comparison, both computational complexity and compression performance are analyzed. Moreover, the trade-off possibilities between the complexity and compression performance within H.26L are presented. Experimental comparisons with H.263 and H.263+ show that H.26L reduces the output bit rate about 30% with the same quality. The computation time increases about three times compared to H.263 and leads into the encoding speed of 3-6 fps for QCIF sequences on a 400 MHz Pentium III processor. Realtime operation can be achieved by applying additional, algorithmic and platform-specific optimizations.
