I don't think it's exactly fair to call AV1 "technically poor". Even if HEVC is better (and I don't know enough to say if it is or not), that would be a bit like calling gzip technically poor because zstd exists.
- ZeroGravitas 7y agoThe latest consensus seems to be that VP9 is roughly on par with HEVC, mostly being held back by the libvpx encoder's poor rate control. It's no surprise then that AV1 (which is basically VP10) uses more resources, but compresses more, and that Netflix and Intel are keen to replace the libvpx derived encoder with their own implementation of the standard.
