>AOMedia is planning for the first version of its format

What does it mean for me?

>>59276463
still no news on bitstream freeze

apparently it's been pushed back

>>59276537
video half the size with same quality. Or double the quality at the same size (streaming too)

faster to encode, faster to decode

vendor support from ALL vendors that exist, basically. Including hardware accelleration

>>59276537
Netflix and Youtube are going to switch to it and more.

>>59276537
It would mean AV1 being used anywhere there is a video or a live stream.

>>59276545
You'll have to buy new expensive hardware to watch anything, and file sizes will inexplicably increase despite the new codec being supposedly more efficient

Fuck just stick with vp9 for a year or two, okay

>>59276612
meant for >>59276537

>>59276543
these fucking niggers better get back to work

>>59276612
no you won't

>>59276612
>this is what MPEG and VCEG damage control looks like

>>59276627
>AV1 is still hoping to succeed VP9 and be a viable contender to HEVC/H.265, but not until later in 2017 is the bitstream format expected to be finalized and thus not until 2018 when we may begin seeing some AV1 adoption.

It's going to take FOREVEEEERR to encode, just like with H265.

Literally useless for home user.

>>59276660
no it won't
VP9 takes FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRR to encode. h265 is nice

av1 ideally will be equal or better

>>59276658
well I guess I'll just kms

>>59276660
Why can't it be GPU accelerated

>>59276729
gpu encoding is garbage my friend

>>59276743
can it be improved?

>>59276858
Sure
