> I could be wrong but I'm skeptical about this claim because video compression can't be done so simply just by creating a new algorithm and writing it in software. Especially the newer codecs such as h265, h266, and AV1 must be in hardware or else it would be too computational heavy and your device will just choke up trying to spend so much cpu time compressing when you're trying to run other processes. This is the key information, as they support M1/M2 which have en/decoders in silicon, they definitely use some off the shelf codec. So they don't use any new breakthrough tech, but marketing existing tech in a shady way. Thank you for your insight!
