Why is this the default codec for anything 60fps on youtube?

Why is this the default codec for anything 60fps on youtube?

your hardware is the problem
Zachary Jones
tell me, what is the least powerful cpu required to playback vp9 60fps vids without hardware acceleration?
I have a Ryzen 1600 for gayman, would that be enough?
Liam Torres
microsoft edge doesn't have this problem, time to get a real browser

Outside of gaymen 60fps video is absolute garbage anyway
Bentley Lewis
VP9 is a shitty meme codec because Google is too jewish to pay for the h265 licence
Angel Thompson
60fps VP9 video works fine on my machine. i7-920 @ 3.8ghz.

Its not how powerful CPU is. Its whether or not CPU has support for vp9 decoding.
You can play 60fps videos on shitty dualcore skylake celerons. Or even shitty dualcore arm cpus used in smartphones.

Also here's the list of hardwares that support it

tl;dr modern ~2+ year CPU/GPU
Owen Brooks
Learn to read you mouth breather. The person you're responding to asked specifically how much horsepower is required to decode VP9 in software. Your reply is a non-sequitur.
Hunter Martinez
You fags are not smart enough to buy superior Intel Kaby Lake or Nvidia Pascal GPUs with real VP9 hardware decoding, AYYMD does not have real hardware decoding of VP9
Samuel Nelson
No CPU has fixed function video decoding. It's the integrated GPUs. So if you use a dedicated GPU, all those iGPU decoders are useless because you're not using the iGPU.
Your *GPU* must support VP9 decoding and as of now only Pascal and Polaris (and Vega) can do it for dedicated GPUs.
A bunch of Intel HD/Iris can do it for laptops, too, though.

>being a corelet
My two xeons (that's 16 cores total) don't break a sweat rendering 60fps VP9 videos.
Lincoln Johnson
Yeah it does.
Alexander James
Watch it in Firefox. FF has a better decoder (FFmpeg) that is faster and scales better to more cores.
You have just slow dualcore but it might be able to cross the line, or it at least reduces the amount of framedrop.
Chrome has the Google shit (libvpx) that is slower because some excuses. I wish I was making this up.
Isaac Miller
Are you stupid or retarded?

AYYMD has no VP9 hardware decoding otherwise the CPU usage wouldn't be high at all
Blake Carter
You're doing something wrong, OP.

In my case, it plays fine on EDGE/Chrome/Vivaldi, firefox just crazy lags / skip frames / drops a bunch.
Lucas Foster
FF has tons of issues for me with Youtube. I'm now stuck with Chrome because it's that bad. I'd rather have a botnet and entertainment than neither.
Luke Bennett
It's like you didin't even read the forum thread you posted
David Russell
Firefox works just fine

Not for me, I get 60% cpu when on software decoding and like 10% cpu on hwdec (media.wmf.vp9.enabled).
It does not play smoothly, tho. There is clearly frames being skipped, but for some reason youtube doesn't count them. It's obvious enough to notice without any side by side comparison (which I did anyway to confirm). But I'm talking about 10+ frames/sec being skipped.
Kinda weird since it plays fine on EDGE (wmf).

Leo Collins
Either way, 8% cpu usage is still relatively low for 4k vp9 playback. It would have been a lot higher if it was using software to decode.
Owen Hill
Its not 4K, the stats even show what dimensiont he video was downscaled to.
(Downscaled to 480p)
(Downscaled to 1080p)
Chances are browser scaling uses the cheapest algos too for cpu usage.
Jaxon Collins
The 4k video still needs to be decoded as 4k, dumbass. That's where most of the compute power goes into. It doesn't matter if you're downscaling that shit to 240p, it will still be stuttery if it's being decoded with software on a shit CPU.
