This may be about AV1 support. Not VP9
- smileybarry 6y agoYes but I responded because OP mentioned VP9.
- dmitriid 6y agoI clean forgot about AV1, since I don't follow the news in the space. However, consider: - H.264 has been around siince 2003 (so, 18 years). - VP9 was released in 2013 (so, 8 years). Google basically forced everyone to adopt the codec by refusing to encode 4k videos in anything else - AV1 was released in 2018. Only 3 years ago. Yay, a new shiny toy for Google. And Google now tries to force everyone to switch to it, or else? Google's own Android gained support for it only last year. So, when is Google going to drop VP9 for videos and only encode them in AV1? And should everyone drop it in another 5 years for an AV2?
