Forwarding a mail from one of my students
Dear experts,
for any of you working with linux/unix/OsX or you just want to test on 
different implementations - here are some tools you may be interested in.
Imagemagick can convert images or series of images to raw yuv (video) files.
Syntax: convert x.jpg x.yuv
http://www.imagemagick.org/
Mplayer can play raw yuv video files.
Syntax: mplayer -rawvideo on:pal:fps=25 x.yuv
(http://www.mplayerhq.hu/)
FFMPEG in it's newest version (0.4.9_pre1) can play H.264 files - has CABAC 
but no B-picture support.
Syntax: ffplay -f h264 x.264
(http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/)
I found them extremely helpful for my work with the reference
encoder/decoder 
and wanted to contribute.

P.S.: There should be windows versions for all programs as well.
