Is it really?
Because all the members of AOM are posting insane profits including on their media part and media codec is an insignificant part of a smartphone price. Honestly the whole thing looks mostly like a play from big players to pay less on the encoding side. It’s mostly irrelevant to consumers.
- JoshTriplett 4y agoSmartphones are hardly the only thing that cares about codecs. So does anyone embedding a video online, anyone building video editing software, any browser engine, any video call system, anyone building tools that play with video (e.g. AI/ML and every random "make you look like a cat" system), and a thousand other things that want to innovate around video.
