Dear developers of the best h264 codec in the world,
</shamelss_flattery>

its been a month since your last x264 development newsletter, the mailing
list hardly contains information regarding future and current developments
anymore ... :-(
would you entertain a few questions to spark discussion?

1. is x264 likely to (significantly) improve in terms of bits/quality
efficiency?

2. is x264 likely to get (noticeably) faster for existing intel desktop
processors like Bloomfield or Lynnfield?

3. adaptive bitrate has become very important, and with it, synchronized
GOPs across encodes in different bitrates.
this is currently supported in x264 by using fixed sized GOPs. what are
your thoughts regarding a more content-aware approach?

4. what are you thoughts regarding the upcoming HEVC/H265 standard, and
will there be an x265?

Regards,
A.
