Interesting charts, but this is all completely meaningless without image quality comparisons. I can easily use 50% less bandwidth than Netflix's H264 streams as well, with H264 even, by just cranking up the compression & dropping the bitrate.
Presumably nothing jumped out at the author as being worse, but come on how can you have a whole section on why AV1's regression on Bojack is actually a good thing because the quality is way higher, and then not show any quality comparisons?
- galaxy_gas 1y agoTaking screenshot of netflix on my device results in black square, I dont know if this applies on lower levels of Widevine but if it doesn't then the quality will be much lower as Netflix do not serve 720+ video unless there is protected DRM path
- kllrnohj 1y agoIt'd have to be the good ol' "take a picture of the screen" route without getting into the more gray areas.
- singhkays 1y agoIt's what the above comments said. I tried taking screenshot comparison but due to the DRM (I think it's called HDCP?), the netflix content ends up as black screen.
