Still it would be interesting to see it implemented. Sure it might be more limited in features compared to software encoders, but at least it could be an option when it's acceptable with software encoders being another one when more features are needed.
Adoption time is applicable to anything new(ish), so AV1 isn't really special in that sense. It's already close to reaching wide adoption in hardware, so it's progressing well.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoIts not ubiquitous like AVC and HEVC though, which is a problem. There have been some holdouts (like Apple, IIRC) Google will integrate hardware AVIF into Pixels if anyone does, so we will get to see it in action there at least.
- shmerl 3y agoHEVC wasn't ubiquitous right away either. But it's DOA because of patent trolls like MPEG-LA. AV1 came later, so it will take its time to become ubiquitous while avoiding issues of HEVC. Apple is a brake on the progress, as always. They'll arrive last.
