xiphophorusXiph.org Test Media

Welcome to media.xiph.org, a repository for freely-redistributable test sequences. We use these to test our codecs, and hope you will too.

All video sequences are in the uncompressed YUV4MPEG format used by the mjpegtools project unless otherwise indicated. This is the format accepted by the Theora encoder tools. Some encoding parameters such as framerate that were missing from the raw data have been guessed or inferred, and may be incorrect.

All sequences listed here were available at one time on publicly accessible servers, and are believed to be freely redistributable. When available, the appropriate copyright information is included. Some may impose additional restrictions or limitations. See the appropriate copyright file for details.
