AV1 + OPUS for life!
What about AV2 + Opus though!?
It's not even out yet...
"for life" covers that eventuality :P
We'll see. I'm hoping I won't have to replace my vast collection of AV1 encoded series as I had with H264 & H265.
No Raspi support for AV1 either. I'm stuck in patent hell HEVC land.
There's always the CPU decoding.
Honestly, that's how the codec game works. Most people or software don't adopt until after the successor is in place. It's more about the software side lagging to adopt though. Nvidia just got AV1 into their hardware processing pipeline in the last 2 years. I think AMD is even more recent than that.
Surprisingly enough first to adopt av1 into GPU was intel with arc GPUs
Intel was one of the funding corporations for that initial APM codec work, so that's not shocking at all.
thatβs how the codec game works.
That, and add some patent pools filled with dubious claims of essentiality, sales deals made under the threat of litigation, and ever-present claims of "twice as efficient it's predecessor" with a big asterisk. Fun times.
My problem with AV1 is that so many people I talk to in real life about it think I'm mispronouncing AVI (Audio Video Interleave), the old container format that was popular in the 90s and early 2000s. I tell them it's a video codec and they act all surprised like H.264 and H.265 are the only ones in existence.
Are you sure that's many people? Outside of the few tech savvy people I know, most lay people have no clue what h.264/5 are either. They know mp3 and that just means digital music to them.
I had completely forgotten about .avi
Pft AV7 is where itβs at.
Look at those sleek lines, it all interlocks.
AV7 is clearly the best.
Av7 - oh god imagine if you pulled that seven in a bit. Sexy.
Oh shoot, youβre onto something there! Ah you got me thinking about graphic design now! Good eye though ;)
