Video Trace Library

IF you use these traces, could you please send me a quick e-mail of the general area of research that you are using it for... I'm curious how people are using these. Thanks!

Here are the Motion-JPEG variable-bit-rate video sources that I used for my thesis. The videos are 320x240 pixels with "guaranteed VHS quality" video. A complete description of the testbed and videos can be found in my thesis. The only thing I ask in return for these clips, is that, when used, a pointer to the description of the clips and the video testbed are given as well as a pointer to this web page:

Wu-chi Feng,"Video-on-Demand Services: Efficient Transportation and 
         Decompression of Variable Bit Rate Video", Ph.D. Thesis, 
         Univ. of Michigan, April 1996.

Below are the statistics for the movies, the clips, and a code snipit that can be used to extract the frames.

Full-length MPEG-1 video sequences now available. I've encoded two movies (E.T. and Crocodile Dundee) into many different MPEG-1 formats (for testing the impact of coding on various systems components). Please e-mail me for further details...

The Statistics

The statistics are available in Chapter 2 of my thesis or individually here:

Movie Graphs

Statistics Table

The Clips

Each frame in the video has been written out to the file as 2 bytes (in binary). As a check, the first few frames of the Beauty and the Beast movie are:

  6221 6203 6407 6469 6349 6253 6319 6229 6417 6281 6309

Each frame represents the size of the frame in BYTES
