  • Google is pushing av1 because of patents, but 266 is just plain better tech, even if it’s harder to encode.

    This same shit happened with 265 and vp9, and before that, and before that with vorbis/opus/aac.

    They’ll come back because it’s a standard, and has higher quality.

    Maybe this is the one time somehow av1 wins out on patents, but I’m encoding av1 and I’m really not impressed, it’s literally just dressed up hevc, maybe a 10% improvement max.

    I’ve seen vvc and it’s really flexible, it shifts gears on a dime between high motion and deep detail, which is basically what your brain sees most, while av1 is actually kind of worse than hevc at that to me, it’s sluggish at the shifts, even if it is better overall.









  • Because?

    This is the whole russian ethos, you must give them everything they want, because they don’t care.

    It’s like the idiot who threatens to eat his own shit, and then does it.

    We get that they have less respect for themselves and peace, but we learned a long time ago that giving in to those people doesn’t win peace, only more war, because you’re rewarding their behavior.

    It is an absolutely credible threat that we could wipe out the entire Russian armed forces with a fraction of our power, and they know that.

    You honestly think they pushed so hard to get Trump in power for no reason? We are the only thing holding them back.
