As someone who doesn't follow this stuff, which is on which path?
- modeless 1y agoAV1 is on the path to universal support and WebP is on the path to obscurity.
- CharlesW 1y agoWebP remains fairly esoteric after 15 years, has always been a solution in search of a problem, and isn’t even universally supported in products by its owner. AV1 was created and is backed by many companies via a non-profit industry consortium, solves real problems, and its momentum continues to grow. https://bitmovin.com/blog/av1-playback-support/ https://bitmovin.com/blog/av1-playback-support/
- graealex 1y agoFunnily enough, JPEG2000-support was eventually removed everywhere. I assume the only reason this didn't happen with WebP as well is Google pushing and keeping it in Chrome.
- tedunangst 1y agoApple CPUs have AV1 support in hardware.
- consp 1y agoSo does every modern GPU. This is nothing special.
- airstrike 1y agoI think you're arguing the same point—that there's plenty of support and it's arguably growing.
- zimpenfish 1y agoOnly support for decoding and from A17 Pro and M3 onwards, I believe? Going to be a few years before that's commonly available (he says from the work M1 Pro.) [edit: clarify that it's decoding only]
