MVC and SVC are part (Annexes) of Recommendation ITU-T H.264. The Recommendation page contains the needed specification to study and implement ITU-T H.264. Access to the PDF version of the published text is free of charge.
For testing one should look into two accompanying Recommendations:
- ITU-T H.264.1 that contains the latest approved version of conformance verification spec; and
- ITU-T H.264.2 that contains latest approved version of the reference code.
Working versions with some updates not yet included in the official version can be found at the Karsten Sühring's
H.264/AVC Software Coordination page.
Test bitstreams can be found online at
http://ftp3.itu.int/av-arch/jvt-site/bitstream_exchange, as well as in the
ITU-T Test Signal database (in the H.264.1 section).
