Video codec wars

>Codemumkey still hasn't added AV1 support to Zig Forums
Who is likely to win?
When will proprietary software be outlawed?

It's not viable yet. You get a better quality video at the same bitrate and encoding time at VP9 than with AV1 atm.
Let's wait until the war is over and there are actually solid encoders and decoders instead of rusted rav1e and so on.

who cares

I just want my Daala.

dav1d recently added some SSSE3 optimizations and can now decode 8-bit yuv420p at 1080p30 with relative ease on non-AVX2 CPUs.

just ignore them. they use full botnet phones anyway so the autism with computers is pointless

This. It would probably be better to make a solid video codec decodable by software than to make some half assed we-have-to-beat-x-until-xx/xx/xx.

AV1 4k+ is unplayable on my machine.
I hope it doesn't become a standard, I don't want to be forced into upgrading to botnet just to be able to watch videos.

AV1 already won this battle, it just needs hardware acceleration to start being deployed, as decoding (and encoding) it with software is simply prohibitive.
