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

    I don’t use it, I can’t speak to anyone else using it. If YouTube is sending it out that’s them using it. None of my files are that codec.

      AV1 is one of the codecs that youtube uses. Not all videos have an AV1 version available though.

      So you just don’t watch it in that case?

        Yeah, totally. 🙄

      AV1 is not an encoder. If you watch AV1 encoded videos, you’re using AV1.

  Booo…

  AV1 + OPUS for life!

    What about AV2 + Opus though!?

    • pastermil@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It’s not even out yet…

      • MHLoppy@fedia.io ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        "for life" covers that eventuality :P

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

  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

  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

    • just_another_person@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.
