AV1  Release
I am more looking forward to future release. The current version is mostly a bitstream freeze. And it is anywhere from few hundred to few thousands times slower at encoding. While the current version isn't optimized at all, I wonder how long would it take them to reach, say within 5x the speed of x265.<p>In another news, we have xvc, which is taking most of the H.266 purposed ideas into its implementation. And it is already showing 30% better compression then AV1.<p>Note: AOMedia have also updated its website.[1] One thing i notice is Apple is the only one not using its Logo in the member site. And this feels a little strange.<p>[1]<a href="https://aomedia.org/membership/members/" rel="nofollow">https://aomedia.org/membership/members/</a>
