Really? Which industries? Who, other than Apple, uses HEVC?
HEVC is a standard produced by industry, sure but it's not an industry standard as no industry that I'm aware of actually uses it. You can't put it on a Blu-Ray, you can't broadcast it and you can't stream it over the internet so that's pretty much the entire consumer content industry for one.
The HEVC patent holders _want_ it to be an industry standard but it's not yet and I hope it never is. I really want AOM to kick its ass with AV1 so we don't have to deal with patent encumbered video codecs again.
- threeseed 9y agoHEVC is an industry standard for broadcast television and is already available today on most platforms: OSX, iOS, PS4 Pro, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Windows etc. It is available on 4K Blu-Ray, HEVC content is widely available on Torrent sites and on commercial sites e.g. iTunes.
