>Apple quietly joined the alliance as a founding member, according to the group's website, which was updated with the change Wednesday. Apple's plans for AV1 aren't yet clear -- the company didn't respond to a request for comment -- but joining as a founding member sends a strong signal of support.

I hope those faggots stop pushing that meme now. I want to watch my chink cartoons in freedom.
Evan Reyes
what's so bad about hevc, though?

>Licensing that basically killed it >x265 still not beating x264 even at v2.4 and five years of development (x264 in its fifth year was already a crowning demon)
Anthony Rodriguez
It's proprietary, and with the license fees, no wonder the tech industry jumped ship to the FOSS alternative.

Jackson Kelly
Literally no one switched to HEVC. Weebshit is still encoded in H.264 besides trash re-encodes.
Bentley Powell
>macOS and iOS will natively support WebM and Opus
It's about time.
Wyatt Roberts
High Sierra already supports FLAC & Opus
Dominic Davis
Many Linux distros cannot legally include it.
Nolan Martin
>ios Webm Is this really confirmed? Source? When? An ios 11 update?
Jonathan Miller
The royalty is only for video playback hardware.
You must mean since its "non free software", its not in the repository for some distros
Cameron Barnes
No, he means that Linux distro's can't legally ship it unless they pay a license Same applies to everyone. It's why people had to install ffmpeg to play mp3s on Windows.
Landon Jones
I just hope this means we can get jpeg/png replacements based on AV1 I-frame encoding.
Ethan Hernandez
Really thought it only applies for hardware acceleration, so a GPU with HEVC hardware acceleration has to pay a royalty. A dvd/blueray player that recognizes it pays a royalty. But not software. Which is why you can encode/decode hevc with free software
Jaxon Allen
It is by device

...and now Apple, the world's largest technology company and last formidable bastion of HEVC, has chosen AV1.
That's it folks. It's over. A FOSS multimedia format has finally won over the proprietary MPEG format.
Expect eastern companies like Sony and Samsung and to follow suit soon.

>...and now Apple, the world's largest toy company and last formidable bastion of HEVC, has chosen AV1. Fixed.
Noah Cook
If I have a Panasonic camera that records in AVCHD and compresses with h.264. Is there any chance that there would be a software update that would allow compression with AV1 since it is completely free?
Or would new camcorders later this year have support for it?
Jaxon Wright
Probably would have to be new camcorders, but no idea when they'll hit market
Chase Butler
patent encumbered != proprietary
Henry Wright
release date ?
Brayden Cooper
friendly reminder that av1 is even slower than h265 to encode
Blake Hill
Hardware acceleration?

>literally all botnet companies >FOSS media format Fuck off. I'm not joining your botnet.
Nolan James
FREE Hardware acceleration nvidia, amd + intel on board
Carson Davis
what a time to be alive
if things pick up any more i might not even kill myself
Brandon Torres
It's an alliance for them to not sue each other, the botnet is only in every other product they ship.

friendly reminder that zero optimizations will be made to the reference encoder until bitstream is frozen and prominent bugs squashed.
AV1's current encoding speed is nowhere near it's projected future encoding speed.
John Howard
licensing fees
SONY BTFO
Parker Miller
only the recent chips nowadays can only play HEVC 1080p 10-bit such as SD 835. HEVC is a shit codec
Carter Stewart
UHD BD uses H.265, though. AV1 disc, when?
Connor Russell
so av1 is supposed to be alternative? can't wait to encode my animus with it!
