Hello everyone. I'm Dan Larkin, and I'll be working on adding trellis motion estimation to x264 during this year's Summer of Code. There's been some promising research on the benefits of using trellis optimization for motion vector refinement, so it'll be my task to figure out how to make this happen in the encoder we all know and love so much. I'm currently working on a standalone prototype to test a few different approaches before determining exactly how to proceed. Hopefully I'll have some nice results to report soon.<br>
