This topic has not been discussed much in previous JVT discussions. It was noted that the project began after a rigorous subjective test effort to establish whether a substantial benefit could be demonstrated from the use of MVC. The basic design capability (in terms of picture coding tools and enabled dependencies) has not changed since that test in terms of coding efficiency capability. Thus the JVT considers the prior subjective test to suffice as a verification of the coding efficiency benefit of the design. Agreed.
