Video decoding is computationally expensive, but it's done by dedicated silicon on most modern GPUs in order to deliver better battery life and better performance. So is encoding. Dedicated silicon is what these other techniques have to compete with - certainly possible, but not easy.
- chrismorgan 6y agoIt’s done in dedicated silicon in order to deliver better battery life and better performance, given how extremely computationally expensive it is. Playing back vector video is simply much less expensive, as it’s doing much less work. Assuming content like the sample videos here, I would expect vector video to be immediately competitive with raster video codecs in power efficiency and performance, once you shift the bulk of the vector rendering from CPU to GPU.
