No, VP9's competition is HEVC/H.265, VP9 ties for efficiency and wins on practical deployment on open platforms. AV1 is competing with all of these codecs, at every resolution, and at every complexity point, but especially with HEVC's successor planned for 2021.
- sjwright 9y agoThis. Even if it takes another year to optimise its encoder and develop hardware acceleration, AV1 will be in the market for two years before MPEG's 2021 forecast. HEVC's successor will need to be materially superior AND have compelling and final patent licensing terms in order to be remotely viable.
- snvzz 9y ago>materially superior To AV2, that is. I don't expect this to stop at AV1. As compressing more gets harder and harder, a significant enough improvement to tempt people into using a royalty-encumbered codec is unlikely to happen ever again.
