YUView

YUView is a cross-platform multimedia analysis tool focused on inspecting raw video formats, particularly YUV data, with advanced visualization capabilities. Built using Qt, it provides a powerful interface for viewing, comparing, and analyzing video frames at a detailed level. The software supports a wide variety of YUV formats, RGB images, and raw bitstreams, including direct decoding of HEVC and other modern codecs. It includes tools for frame navigation, zooming, and side-by-side comparison, making it ideal for debugging and research in video compression. YUView can also display internal codec data such as motion vectors and prediction modes, giving deep insight into encoding processes. With integration support for FFmpeg and reference decoders, it extends beyond simple playback into a full analysis environment. Its extensible design allows for additional decoding and visualization modules.
