YUView is a Qt-based, cross-platform YUV video player with an advanced analytics toolset for inspecting raw video sequences. It supports many YUV/RGB formats, HEVC bitstream decoding with internal visualizations, FFmpeg-based file opening, side-by-side comparison, difference calculation, and statistics overlays.

Use cases

  • play and inspect raw YUV video sequences
  • compare two video sequences side by side and view differences
  • visualize HEVC internals like prediction modes and motion vectors
  • overlay statistics data on top of video frames
  • open almost any video file via FFmpeg
  • analyze video codec output quality frame by frame
  • zoom into video frames to inspect pixel-level details

When to choose

  • you need to view or debug raw YUV or RGB video data
  • you are developing or researching video codecs like HEVC/H.265
  • you need frame-accurate comparison and difference analysis of video sequences
  • you want to visualize codec statistics such as motion vectors or prediction modes

When to avoid

  • you just need a general-purpose media player for watching videos
  • you need automated batch video processing or transcoding pipelines
  • you require a headless or command-line-only video analysis tool
