- FullyFunctional 6y agoGreat link (and I love Vimeo). The blog goes hyperbolic though: "In other words, if you happen to be in a part of the world where you might not have the best internet connection, AV1 will still provide you with an impeccable viewing experience." No, AV1 is evolutionary. You'll "just" better quality for the same amount of bits (just like going from MPEG2 -> H.264 -> H.265 etc). The license of AV1 however is revolutionary.
- trp1 6y agoIs there a way to use this in ffmpeg yet or is it just stand alone application?
- mindfreeze 6y agoFFmpeg master is having for a while now, if you could grab latest nightly, you can use it. https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-codecs.html#librav1e https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-codecs.html#librav1e
- Daemon404 6y agoI would perhaps wait until rav1e 0.4, because there is a bug in the FFmpeg wrapper (of which I am the author) right now that breaks timestamps. If you wish to build with rav1e master, you can apply this to fix it: https://github.com/dwbuiten/FFmpeg/commit/ac4cf898c1960d72bce2966592cc2933d229f79c https://github.com/dwbuiten/FFmpeg/commit/ac4cf898c1960d72bc... (removing the configure check) It hasn't made it upstream yet since I can't bump the minimum required version in FFmpeg git until rav1e tags 0.4.
- MaxBarraclough 6y agoInteresting that they do it only on the staff pick videos. I presume this is a way of incrementally rolling out support for the codec.
- muglug 6y agoYes.
