Note:

Note that not all levels from L0 to L5 are supported in every profile.

●

Level descriptions for profiles are omitted where they are inappropriate for com-
pressed-video content. These are mainly the synthetic video profiles that support
still images texture-mapped onto a mesh. These are not encoding video in the same
way but describe render parameters so that a moving image can be reconstructed
as an animation.

●

The frame sizes, color models, and fps ratings should be taken as general guide-
lines and not descriptions of specific minimum or maximum values.

●

The size of the video is determined by a limit on the number of macroblocks that
can be used at a particular level.

●

Color information is described only where relevant as a limiting parameter for the
source content.

●

Advanced Simple Natural Visual Profile and Fine Granularity Scalability Natural
Visual Profile were introduced at the version 2 amendment for 2D support.
