I don't even use av1 for anything. 🀷

[–] commander@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Streaming sites use them so there's a solid chance you've used it plenty without actively choosing to

Booo....

AV1 + OPUS for life!

[–] MHLoppy@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What about AV2 + Opus though!?

[–] MHLoppy@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"for life" covers that eventuality :P

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No Raspi support for AV1 either. I'm stuck in patent hell HEVC land.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

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.

that’s 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.

[–] Mondez@lemdro.id 8 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I had completely forgotten about .avi

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pft AV7 is where it’s at.

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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, you’re onto something there! Ah you got me thinking about graphic design now! Good eye though ;)
