FF Video Codec 1
art
cellarThis document defines FFV1, a lossless intra-frame video encoding format. FFV1 is designed to efficiently compress video data in a variety of pixel formats. Compared to uncompressed video, FFV1 offers storage compression, frame fixity, and self-description, which makes FFV1 useful as a preservation or intermediate video format.
The FFV1 video codec is a simple and efficient lossless intra-frame only codec.
The latest version of this document is available at This document assumes familiarity with mathematical and coding concepts such as Range coding and YCbCr colorspaces.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.
ESC An ESCape symbol to indicate that the symbol to be stored is too large for normal
storage and that an alternate storage method.
MSB Most Significant Bit, the bit that can cause the largest change in magnitude of
the symbol.
RCT Reversible Color Transform, a near linear, exactly reversible integer transform
that converts between RGB and YCbCr representations of a sample.
VLC Variable Length Code.
RGB A reference to the method of storing the value of a sample by using three numeric
values that represent Red, Green, and Blue.
YCbCr A reference to the method of storing the value of a sample by using three numeric
values that represent the luminance of the sample (Y) and the chrominance of the
sample (Cb and Cr).
TBA To Be Announced. Used in reference to the development of future iterations of the
FFV1 specification.
Note: the operators and the order of precedence are the same as used in the C programming language .
a + b means a plus b.
a - b means a minus b.
-a means negation of a.
a \* b means a multiplied by b.
a / b means a divided by b.
a & b means bit-wise "and" of a and b.
a | b means bit-wise "or" of a and b.
a >> b means arithmetic right shift of two’s complement integer representation of a by b binary digits.
a << b means arithmetic left shift of two’s complement integer representation of a by b binary digits.
a = b means a is assigned b.
a++ is equivalent to a = a + 1.
a– is equivalent to a = a - 1.
a += b is equivalent to a = a + b.
a -= b is equivalent to a = a - b.
a > b means a is greater than b.
a >= b means a is greater than or equal to b.
a < b means a is less than b.
a <= b means a is less than or equal b.
a == b means a is equal to b.
a != b means a is not equalto b.
a && b means boolean logical "and" of a and b.
a || b means boolean logical "or" of a and b.
!a means boolean logical "not".
a ? b : c if a is true, then b, otherwise c.
$\lfloor a \rfloor$ the largest integer less than or equal to a
$\lceil a \rceil$ the smallest integer greater than or equal to a
When order of precedence is not indicated explicitly by use of parentheses, operations are evaluated in the following order (from top to bottom, operations of same precedence being evaluated from left to right). This order of operations is based on the order of operations used in Standard C.
a...b means any value starting from a to b, inclusive.
remaining_bits_in_bitstream( ) means the count of remaining bits after the current position in the bitstream. It is computed from the NumBytes value multiplied by 8 minus the count of bits already read by the bitstream parser.
byte_aligned( ) means remaining_bits_in_bitstream( ) is a multiple of 8.

Each frame is split in 1 to 4 planes (Y, Cb, Cr, Alpha). In the case of the normal YCbCr colorspace the Y plane is coded first followed by the Cb and Cr planes, if an Alpha/transparency plane exists, it is coded last. In the case of the JPEG2000-RCT colorspace the lines are interleaved to improve caching efficiency since it is most likely that the RCT will immediately be converted to RGB during decoding; the interleaved coding order is also Y, Cb, Cr, Alpha.
Samples within a plane are coded in raster scan order (left->right, top->bottom). Each sample is predicted by the median predictor from samples in the same plane and the difference is stored see .
For the purpose of the predictior and context, samples above the coded slice are assumed to be 0; samples to the right of the coded slice are identical to the closest left sample; samples to the left of the coded slice are identical to the top right sample (if there is one), otherwise 0.
00000000000000abcc0adee0dfghhmedian(left, top, left + top - diag)
left, top, diag are the left, top and left-top samples
Note, this is also used in .
TtlttrLlXThe quantized sample differences L-l, l-tl, tl-t, t-T, t-tr are used as context:
$context=Q_{0}[l-tl]+\left|Q_{0}\right|(Q_{1}[tl-t]+\left|Q_{1}\right|(Q_{2}[t-tr]+\left|Q_{2}\right|(Q_{3}[L-l]+\left|Q_{3}\right|Q_{4}[T-t])))$
If the context is smaller than 0 then -context is used and the difference between the sample and its predicted value is encoded with a flipped sign.
There are 5 quantization tables for the 5 sample differences, both the number of quantization steps and their distribution are stored in the bitstream. Each quantization table has exactly 256 entries, and the 8 least significant bits of the sample difference are used as index:
$Q_{i}[a-b]=Table_{i}[(a-b)&255]$
$Cb=b-g$
$Cr=r-g$
$Y=g+(Cb+Cr)>>2$
$g=Y-(Cb+Cr)>>2$
$r=Cr+g$
$b=Cb+g$
Instead of coding the n+1 bits of the sample difference with Huffman-, or Range coding (or n+2 bits, in the case of RCT), only the n (or n+1) least significant bits are used, since this is sufficient to recover the original sample. In the equation below, the term "bits" represents bits_per_raw_sample+1 for RCT or bits_per_raw_sample otherwise:
$coder_input=\left[\left(sample_difference+2^{bits-1}\right)&\left(2^{bits}-1\right)\right]-2^{bits-1}$
Early experimental versions of FFV1 used the CABAC Arithmetic coder from but due to the uncertain patent/royality situation, as well as its slightly worse performance, CABAC was replaced by a Range coder based on an algorithm defined by G. Nigel N. Martin in 1979 .
To encode binary digits efficiently a Range coder is used. $C_{i}$ is the i-th Context. $B_{i}$ is the i-th byte of the bytestream. $b_{i}$ is the i-th Range coded binary value, $S_{0,i}$ is the i-th initial state, which is 128. The length of the bytestream encoding n binary symbols is $j_{n}$ bytes.
$r_{i}=\left\lfloor \frac{R_{i}S_{i,C_{i}}}{2^{8}}\right\rfloor$
$\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
S_{i+1,C_{i}}=zero_state_{S_{i,C_{i}}} & \wedge & l{i}=L{i} & \wedge & t_{i}=R_{i}-r_{i} & \Longleftarrow & b_{i}=0 & \Longleftrightarrow & L_{i}

To encode scalar integers it would be possible to encode each bit separately and use the past bits as context. However that would mean 255 contexts per 8-bit symbol which is not only a waste of memory but also requires more past data to reach a reasonably good estimate of the probabilities. Alternatively assuming a Laplacian distribution and only dealing with its variance and mean (as in Huffman coding) would also be possible, however, for maximum flexibility and simplicity, the chosen method uses a single symbol to encode if a number is 0 and if not encodes the number using its exponent, mantissa and sign. The exact contexts used are best described by the following code, followed by some comments.
At keyframes all Range coder state variables are set to their initial state.
$one_state_{i}=default_state_transition_{i}+state_transition_delta_{i}$
$zero_state_{i}=256-one_state_{256-i}$
The alternative state transition table has been build using iterative minimization of frame sizes and generally performs better than the default. To use it, the coder_type has to be set to 2 and the difference to the default has to be stored in the parameters. The reference implemenation of FFV1 in FFmpeg uses this table by default at the time of this writing when Range coding is used.
This coding mode uses golomb rice codes. The VLC code is split into 2 parts, the prefix stores the most significant bits, the suffix stores the k least significant bits or stores the whole number in the ESC case. The end of the bitstream (of the frame) is filled with 0-bits so that the bitstream contains a multiple of 8 bits.

The run value is encoded in 2 parts, the prefix part stores the more significant part of the run as well as adjusting the run_index which determines the number of bits in the less significant part of the run. The 2nd part of the value stores the less significant part of the run as it is. The run_index is reset for each plane and slice to 0.
The log2_run function is also used within .
Level coding is identical to the normal difference coding with the exception that the 0 value is removed as it cannot occur:
Note, this is different from JPEG-LS, which doesn’t use prediction in run mode and uses a different encoding and context model for the last difference On a small set of test samples the use of prediction slightly improved the compression rate.

This configuration record can be placed in any file format supporting configuration records, fitting as much as possible with how the file format uses to store configuration records. The configuration record storage place and NumBytes are currently defined and supported by this version of this specification for the following container formats:
The Configuration Record extends the stream format chunk ("AVI ", "hdlr", "strl", "strf") with the ConfigurationRecord bistream.
See for more information about chunks.
NumBytes is defined as the size, in bytes, of the strf chunk indicated in the chunk header minus the size of the stream format structure.
The Configuration Record extends the sample description box ("moov", "trak", "mdia", "minf", "stbl", "stsd") with a "glbl" box which contains the ConfigurationRecord bitstream.
See for more information about boxes.
NumBytes is defined as the size, in bytes, of the "glbl" box indicated in the box header minus the size of the box header.
The codec_specific_data element (in "stream_header" packet) contains the ConfigurationRecord bitstream.
See for more information about elements.
NumBytes is defined as the size, in bytes, of the codec_specific_data element as indicated in the "length" field of codec_specific_data
A frame consists of the keyframe field, parameters (if version <=1), and a sequence of independent slices.

To ensure that fast multithreaded decoding is possible, starting version 3 and if frame_pixel_width * frame_pixel_height is more than 101376, slice_width * slice_height MUST be less or equal to num_h_slices * num_v_slices / 4.
Note: 101376 is the frame size in pixels of a 352x288 frame also known as CIF ("Common Intermediate Format") frame size format.
For each frame, each position in the slice raster MUST be filled by one and only one slice of the frame (no missing slice position, no slice overlapping).
For each Frame with keyframe value of 0, each slice MUST have the same value of slice_x, slice_y, slice_width, slice_height as a slice in the previous frame, except if reset_contexts is 1.
The bitstream is parsable in two ways: in sequential order as described in this document or with the pre-analysis of the footer of each slice. Each slice footer contains a slice_size field so the boundary of each slice is computable without having to parse the slice content. That allows multi-threading as well as independence of slice content (a bitstream error in a slice header or slice content has no impact on the decoding of the other slices).
After having checked keyframe field, a decoder SHOULD parse slice_size fields, from slice_size of the last slice at the end of the frame up to slice_size of the first slice at the beginning of the frame, before parsing slices, in order to have slices boundaries. A decoder MAY fallback on sequential order e.g. in case of corrupted frame (frame size unknown, slice_size of slices not coherant...) or if there is no possibility of seek into the stream.
