Abstract
In this paper we analyze current H.264 rate distortion algorithms (RD), specifically those developed in the x264 codec which is an open source and high performance H.264/AVC encoder, and evaluate their suitability for high definition video conferencing (HDVC). Moreover, we report the current shortcomings of these methods and highlight issues to be addressed for future research, as well as the requirements of an RD for HDVC. Each method is analyzed from aspects such as network bandwidth, frame size, PSNR and SSIM measurements. In addition to the objective tests, the results are evaluated by human observers in order to get the correct perceptive of the performance of each method.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
