Not sure why you think that
- pas 4y agoThey are there now, but are they founding members? Did they push for av1 anywhere? It seems their AOM membership is mostly a signal to the license cartels that eventually "paying for codecs is not going to be ok, unless you give us a good deal".

I doubt they'd be allowed lead the organization built around AV1 without helping it in some way. > It seems their AOM membership is mostly a signal to the license cartels that eventually "paying for codecs is not going to be ok, unless you give us a good deal". Yeah, I really hope this isn't the case. A universal, free, open codec like AV1 would be great to have. There is some evidence[1] of Apple adding support at least.
