    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 ;)

  I don’t even use av1 for anything. 🤷

  • commander@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    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.

    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

      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.

  Why do we need more codecs? Technical progress is nice but unless the new thing is literally 5x better than the old thing, media codecs are for practical purposes a solved problem by now. Slight improvements aren’t worth the churn and patent hazards.

    AV2 provides enhanced support for AR/VR applications, split-screen delivery of multiple programs, improved handling of screen content, and an ability to operate over a wider visual quality range.

      Thanks, that sounds mostly like container features. Maybe that helps.

  • __siru__@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Isn’t AV1 patent free?

    source

    • ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yes and no. Hardware = pay google Proprietary software = pay google or 3rd party Open source (d@v1d) = free (this is what most people use = VLC Player)

      source
    • solrize@lemmy.ml ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I don’t know, but if it is, why take chances with yet another codec? The hazard is less about the developers asserting parents than trolls coming out of the woodwork after the codec is deployed.
