Incorrect, Cicada deployed a custom version of VLC which was hacked. Use VLC from our website and you’ll be safe.

President of VideoLAN here: we got banned since a few months, and we don’t know why. (According to my stats, it is since the 13 February 2022) . We’ve asked the Indian government and we got no answer. We probably did not ask the right plac

As all software decoders… So you compare software to hardware decoders? H265 or VP9 in software are the same… Here, we managed to have a sw decoder for a format that is one order of magnitude more complex than those codecs and yet, consume

All arch have the same level of optimizations, but AVX2 might have a couple functions more. AVX-512 is still behind… Hand written with some macros, notably for the x86 mess (windows calling convention, ssse being 32 and 64b).

And those machine cannot decode H265 in software… Sorry but you cannot say dav1d software decoding is bad on phones because some hardware from 15 years ago who can barely decode H264 cannot decode it.

I really can't see how you read anything else that "it's very optimized" in my message, tbh.

Tbh, those results are a bit surprising. We have much better results with similar hardware... How are you testing? Is that dav1d 1.0? 8bit or 10bit content? If you tested before 1.0 and 10bit content, you should run it again, since we pushe

(President of VideoLAN here) What you should really look at on dav1d is the fact that the code has now around 186 kLoC of hand-written assembly in .S and .asm files… I think this is quite a feat (this is more asm than the whole FFmpeg) and

That’s the opposite of our experience on VLC and Firefox was sharing our opinion: mingw-w64 people are skilled, nice and very clever and think about all use cases. This is how we are able to support configurations that even MS does not supp
