Since this is just a link to a source tree and I wondered myself what it was, I'll add that AV1 is an open, royalty-free video codec: https://en.wikipedia.org/

Opus is the audio equivalent.

- jbk 8y agoWhy is it marked as dupe?
- dang 8y agoI just did that, because it looks like this story had significant discussion recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16697415 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16697415. (And https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16796127 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16796127 also.) Sorry, I didn't see these comments or I'd have said so sooner!
- jbk 8y agoThose 2 discussions are about the "release" that was more a beta, than a release. This current discussion is the actual release.
- FullyFunctional 8y agoIt's not a dupe. The previous release was a marketing fluff. Now people can actually start encoding video without having to worry about having to do everything over. That is a big deal. The previous announcement was a complete non-event. Incidentally, Bunny's NeTV2 [1] might be a convenient platform for a hardware accelerated codec.

- eximius 8y agoAV1 is a collaboration between lots of huge players combining their individual state of the art attempts (Mozilla, Google, Cisco, etc). It's really encouraging, actually. From what I can tell Opus had development contributed by multiple groups, but significantly less.
