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.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.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.[1]https://aomedia.org/membership/members/
