oof
so?
AV1 just won even more than they already were.
Are they trying to move everyone away to AV1 faster or something?
VP9 came out in 2013, same as HEVC.AV1 came out in 2018.Both are better than H.264 and HEVC.What's stopping the switch?Same with AVIF, and I hate WebP, but even that's better than sucking off MPEG.
>>108520498They are extracting the remaining juices from the market it seems. Right before everyone transitioned from old codecs they make them expensive. No reputation to lose, they are about to disappear.

>>108520554Netflix is gradually moving to AV1 right now.https://netflixtechblog.com/av1-now-powering-30-of-netflix-streaming-02f592242d80
>>108520590netflix gives a bad impression of av1 to everyone.when people think of av1, they think of bit starved 1080p encodes that look so bad, it almost makes gif looks like a good format.
>>108520498the ability to patent file formats is absurd
>>108520638The European Union has far more stringent restrictions on software patents than the US.
fees are the same if you're below a thresholdbut oh boy do they ramp up>19,999,999 daily users>pay $100k>20,000,000 daily users>pay 2 million
>>108520553>>108520546i guess you haven't heard that dolby is trying to collect licensing fees on av1.
>>108520719they always do.next time they'll create the 'open bt curve consortium' or the 'open subtitle consortium' and charge a fuckton of money for formats nobody cares about.the reason it works is that they force distributors (their friends) to use their format, for instance by making it free for them and putting the cost on media players.
>>108520691>make zero changes to the format>increase the royaltiesI don't see why this is allowed.>noooo you're making too much money while using my IP, you have to pay me moooooooore
>>108520498The fucking audacity of these kikes.
>>108520498How the fuck haven't the patents for h.264 expired yet?
>>108520833Part of the reason I'm glad H.265 didn't win. Just imagine how long that would be locked down.
>>108520781assume for a moment that the fees aren't bullshit to begin withwhy shouldn't larger platforms pay more?
>>108520869>why shouldn't larger platforms pay more?Should have thought about that when you initially set up your royalties.
>>108520897So just disagree with changing the terms? All existing licenses are grandfathered in.>The change applies only to previously unlicensed implementers seeking a new license in 2026 or later, with all companies that held an active AVC license as of the end of 2025 retaining their original terms
>>108520897If you spent 3 seconds reading the whole headline and not just the first few words then you would know that it only applies to new customers.
>>108520498>The change applies only to previously unlicensed implementers seeking a new license in 2026 or later, with all companies that held an active AVC license as of the end of 2025 retaining their original terms.In other words, none of the established big players will be affected.
>>108520719>>108520732tf are you on schizo? It's dolby doing dolby shit besides if they keep slinging shit they'll be blacklisted from like half of silicon valley for a decadeThe vainest of nothingburgers
>>108520606If only a reputable company published something with bitrate instruc-ack!https://www.hikvision.com/content/dam/hikvision/ca/faq-document/H.2645-&-H.2645-Recommended-Bit-Rate-at-General-Resolutions.pdfWorked in the security industry for years and this chart is flawless. It just scales and you can use the HEVC bitrates for VP9 or AV1 as VP9 is the same and HEVC is exactly between 20-30% larger than AV1.Even when I record or stream, using AV1 with a max of 8192 KBpS for 1440p 60fps footage with a VBR target of 5 (out of 7), I get flawless footage without artifacts or crunchiness even in my blacks and reds.
>>108520939huh?
>>108520498What do they have to license? Aren't the patents for h.264 expired?
Behead MPEG-LA.Judo throw MPEG-LA into a wood chipper.Karate chop MPEG-LA in half.Strap MPEG-LA to a space-x rocket.Launch MPEG-LA into LEO via a railgun.Stir fry MPEG-LA in a wok.
>>108520498av2 will be enshittified
>>108520844it's already won for everything that's not throwaway youtube videos (every youtube adcuck already paid their billions for funding av1)
>>108521260Why do you think AV1 was created? H.265 was FORCED against people's will and when they realized how much kike shit was going on they reverted back to H.264.WHAT do you think is going to happen when these stupid turbo kikes make H.264 even more expensive than it needs to be?
>>108521289av1 was created for the same reason vp8 was created. to make the most compressible codec that's good enough for goyslop and getting past the discerning normalfag eye.the patents and royalty shit came after. you really believe a couple hundred k a year would be anything to these corpos? shaving 5 kilobits per second off the bitrate probably does more to the bottom line than any amount of paypigging or otherwise to the mpeg la would.the reason to then shill vp* and derivatives is to manufacture consent so hardware makers care enough to dedicate silicon space to their codecs. plus, any control over the ecosystem is worthwhile control over the ecosystem. you could choose to gatekeep, choke out and/or enshittify at your leisure at any point in the future. it's also great for the jeet ego and jeet resume that everyone in the world adds .avif to the end of their image files.
