VVenC is Fraunhofer HHI's fast and efficient open-source software encoder for the H.266/VVC video compression standard, written in C++. It offers quality/speed presets, perceptual optimization via XPSNR, task-based parallelization, and single/two-pass rate control.

Use cases

  • encode video to h.266/vvc
  • compress video with better quality than hevc
  • fast multithreaded vvc encoding
  • software video encoder for vvc
  • reduce video bitrate at same quality
  • encode video from command line

When to choose

  • you need maximum compression efficiency and can use the newest codec
  • you need a fast, parallelized software VVC encoder
  • you want perceptually optimized encoding with rate control

When to avoid

  • you need broad playback compatibility, since VVC support is still limited
  • you only need a decoder (use VVdeC instead)
  • you need HEVC or AVC encoding
