We have to apply some weight to the fact that one is open, one isn't, right?
EDIT: Oh! Of course. AVIF is based on AV1. For some reason I was thinking HEIF the entire time I was reading the article. Man... withdrawn!
Really good read, btw. Very good points.
- abhinavk 12d agoBoth are open I think.
- computerbuster 12d agoAVIF is royalty-free, & SVT-AV1 and libaom are open source. Edit: saw you corrected. Much appreciated!
- dannyw 12d agoSVT-AV1 is also more than just open source in name only; development and discussions happen in the open; with many community forks that’s now getting upstreamed/merged. It is a true open source project; not just an open source license.
- computerbuster 12d agoSVT-AV1-PSY was the first fork, and I created it. When the project matured, the maintainers reached out directly to get things merged – I can confirm it is a great project with great people who are very easy to work with.
- gsnedders 12d agoAVIF _is_ AV1 in the HEIF container. (.heif is sometimes used as a file extension generically, but HEIF is itself a container that can support various payloads.)
