How so? The spec has been frozen for over a year but nothing is merged into aom master branch.

Not too informed I thought av1 was basically plateauing already and the peak of free open codecs?

At transparent bitrates we plateaued way back in 2003 with AVC. All modern innovation is just an exercise in making increasingly bit-starved streams look just barely acceptable, motivated by consumers' baffling demand for arbitrarily-high resolutions.

It took four years for GPUs to support AV1 encoding and it took a long time for CPUs to encode AV1 videos when it first came out because of how slow the reference AOM-AV1 encoder was before Intel and Netflix's much faster SVT-AV1 CPU encoder released a year later, so I don't think the world will be in a big rush to move to it just yet.

AV2 is about to be released and this site still doesn't even support AV1. Disappointing.

not really true for >1080p. but primarily because of larger block sizes. a good EVC encoder would be ideal. but no one is working on that, unfortunately.

I am from Finland, working for fakku and i want to sacrifice my firstborn son to Google.

I can't imagine the actual compression could be that much better, hopefully there's better decoding performance early on though

>I can't imagine the actual compression could be that much better
judging by how much slower the encoder is (probably >100x), the compression is probably not better at all even with 2-4x more processing. and that's judging with the useless metrics, which is all they optimize for at this stage.

HEVC x265 is still better
