- leeoniya 8y agodav1d is the state of the art currently, but i dont know if it's used by FF. https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d
- padenot 8y agoIt is, however it's not enabled by default for now. It will be in a few releases after we figure about a couple issues with the build system.
- cpeterso 8y agoFor people that would like to follow along from home, here's the Firefox bug for switching to the dav1d decoder: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=dav1d https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=dav1d
- gardaani 8y agoI have tried AV1 video on Chrome and it seems to be using the same amount of CPU as VP9 on my computer. I can't test Firefox support for AV1 on my Mac, because it seems to work only on Windows.
- ignaloidas 8y agoIt's only on windows by default, but you can enable it using about:config flag media.av1.enabled
- M2Ys4U 8y agoI've been running with AV1 enabled on Linux (via about:config) for a while - maybe flipping the pref will work for you?
