It’s a bit less dry than the changelog, notably for the evolutions of the APIs.
What’s also important is the changes about the release schedule that we’ve been pushing with the community. Major version every year at the beginning of the year, with ABI and API break, minor releases during the year and an LTS every other year…
- AndyKelley 4y agoThank you for doing this talk. I agree with you, news about ffmpeg progress should be more widespread. And by the way, I love your hat!
- vhiremath4 4y agoGracias!
- mikae1 4y agoAt 2m15s you even mention HN. :)
- qwerty456127 4y agoThis is very nice. I've been surprised how many people don't know HN, it can definitely use some promotion.
- _0ffh 4y agoPlease, no! We'd need way more dangs than are available.

- eigart 4y agoBe careful what you wish for!
- ducktective 4y agoEternal March here we come
- qubex 4y agoI’m old enough to remember when that was coined.
- vetinari 4y agoI'm getting a bit older and my memory might not serve me very well, but it used to be Eternal September, right?
- Rediscover 4y agoYes, your recall matches mine. Also, try the page jargon/html/S/September-that-never-ended.html on www.catb.org.
- ducktective 4y agoyeah but HN version is going to happen on March...at least that was the point of my joke
- Laaas 4y agoWhy would it be March for HN? End of the Japanese fiscal year?
- ikt 4y agono ty!
- WithinReason 4y agoRule 1 of Fight Club
- brnt 4y agoWell, it does sometimes feel that way, a fight club.
- andrewinardeer 4y agoRule 2 as well.

- MezzoDelCammin 4y agonice talk, thanks! I guess for once You finally "did" make it with FFmpeg to the front page of HN ;-)
- jbk 4y agoThanks for watching the talk :)
- BlackLotus89 4y agoA bit off topic, but in your talk you said that intel, nvidia and amd encoder are worse than svt-av1. How much worse and which card is the best? Always encoding with ab-av1/av1an using svt-av1, but with the "right" preset it's still really slow. Which hardware encoder (in your opinion/experience) is the best to use (size/quality speed doesn't matter as much). If I want to convert my media server to av1 only should I stick with svt-av1 and eat the power/time-cost?
- cstejerean 4y agoWhat is the the "right" preset? SVT-AV1 has a wide range of presets, from being about as fast as x264 veryfast onwards. And for any given speed level it should provide significantly lower bitrates at the same quality than x264, x265 or libvpx. For example if you pick speed 6 on SVT-AV1 it should take about as much time as x264 veryslow while still being 30-40% lower bitrate at the same quality. Have you tried the faster presets of SVT-AV1?
- brucethemoose2 4y agoI dont have a card to test, but the last VMAF bench I saw shows hardware AV1 is slightly better than veryslow x264. Which is way better than hardware h.264... but also terrible compared to svt-av1, lol. Try using av1an to parallelize (and improve the quality of) your encode. And TBH you should not re encode your library unless it has raw rips or something like that, and you are short on space.
- SuperSandro2000 4y agogit log is no changelog...
- adverbly 4y ago> 200k LoC of handwritten ASM! He's not the hero we deserve, but he's the hero we need. I'm sure you get this a lot, but thank you so much for your sacrifice!
