yuview

YUView is a cross-platform YUV player and analytic tool built with Qt. It provides navigation and zoom controls, supports a broad range of YUV formats with different subsamplings and bit depths, and can open raw RGB files, individual images, and image sequences. For codec analysis, it can directly decode raw H.265/HEVC bitstreams and visualize internal information such as prediction modes and motion vectors. It also offers an interface and visualizations for the HM and JEM reference software decoders. Through FFmpeg, it can open many additional file types. Comparison features include side-by-side views, comparison views, and calculated differences in YUV or RGB colorspaces. Users can save and load playlists and overlay video with statistics data. Prebuilt releases are provided for Windows, macOS, and Linux as an AppImage. On Ubuntu 22.04 and newer it can be installed from the official repository, and it is also available on Flathub. Building from source uses qmake and make after installing Qt; the README states that no additional dependent libraries are required.
