AV1 is for h265 and now h266 is "ready", I guess AV2 should see the light soon, shouldn't it?
In the future, once mainstream CPUs cannot software decode in realtime compressed video/audio and only a specialized hardware block will be fast enough, will it be a "patent encumbered" format with tons of royalties?
- edflsafoiewq 5y agoThis endless churn of video formats isn't sustainable if every one needs to have specialized hardware.
- sylware 5y agoI was refering to the future: when the silicium will have hit its "best" (in a mass production context) and the video/audio compressed format of this future would not be able to be "software decoded" in real time by such "best silicium" CPUs: only a specialized hardware block would be able to decode such video/audio compressed format in real time. The danger is this block only implementing the decoding of a non-royalty free/patent encumbered format à la mpeg, presuming the "intellectual property" was not globally fixed and still toxic like nowdays.
