Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method includes determining, for multiple different media items, a current time scale at which the media items are encoded for distribution, where at least two of the media items are encoded at different frame rates. The method then includes identifying, for the media items, a unified time scale that provides a constant frame interval for each of the media items. The method also includes changing at least one of the media items from the current time scale to the identified unified time scale to provide a constant frame interval for the changed media item(s). Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Innovations in encoder-side search ranges having horizontal bias or vertical bias are described herein. For example, a video encoder determines a block vector (“BV”) for a current block of a picture, performs intra prediction for the current block using the BV, and encodes the BV. The BV indicates a displacement to a region within the picture. When determining the BV, the encoder checks a constraint that the region is within a BV search range having a horizontal bias or vertical bias. The encoder can select the BV search range from among multiple available BV search ranges, e.g., depending at least in part on BV values of one or more previous blocks, which can be tracked in a histogram data structure.
