Why aren't all new rips encoded in VP9? It's free as in FOSS and it's hardware accelerated on most devices.
It's a viable alternative to h265.
Why the fuck are rips always in x264 or x265? I've never seen a rip of a decent show or film in VP9 but there is no reason why people shouldn't use it.
x264 and x265 is free as in FOSS as well. Patent law means jack shit for end users.
Because they compress better and are more widely supported by sites and companies that create videos that people actually care about.
VP9 is basically dead. It's okay to use in the meantime but AV1 a FOSS codec with actual industry backing is coming soon.
I use x265 for my personal use. I don't pay any because source is available freely.
Lack of HW encoders.
>It's free as in FOSS
Just like x265 and x264
AV1 will be the future, does anyone know if it will support lossless compression however?
Also, I once tried vpxenc before and it was really slow and buggy.
Man i hope AV1 is gonna be good, both for low res and high res content.
but i bet were still gonna be stuck on 264 and 265 forever regardless..
Can dream of one format to rule them all, one which is free too.
IIRC it uses OPUS for sound
>IIRC it uses OPUS for sound
I thought that video codecs did not care which sound codec you used. Shouldn't you be able to easily use FLAC with it?
