If it's so good, how come it's dead?

Wtf av1 bros? i thought we won??!! The jews won again in the end

>better than AV1
>finished standard is 2 years old
>only one chip for 8K TVs has implemented it
>only one (Tencent-funded, Indian) streaming service has tested it
>added to European and Brazilian OTA TV standards, but nobody uses OTA TV to watch those channels anymore, so it doesn't matter
Fuck this licensing bullshit
Colton Allen
where the Any Forums faggots calling for everyone to migrate to h.266 because they want to save 10mb on their FAGGOT anime video files?
Nicholas Wilson
h264 is still a better format than anything that's come along since with the intent to replace it.
>b-but my 20% reduced filesize for 100000x more CPU usage
Don't care. Fuck off.
Carter Cruz
at some point they're just gonna .zip video files and tell the consoomers it's a totally new codec and cpu's will be fast enough by then that they can't even tell the difference
Camden White
Because early iterations of new codecs always suck ass. 10-bit HEVC is now 60-70% more efficient than 8-bit H.264 at 4K res and the encoder has been optimized so much that high end consumer desktop CPUs can now encode 4K HEVC at 20+ FPS which is insane because a decade ago high end HEDT CPUs could barely crank out a few FPS at 1080p. Same thing will happen with VVC so expect to wait around a decade before it becomes usable for consumer use.
Kevin Brown
BTW I don't blame people for sticking with H264 for low resolution video (ie less than 4K). The main magic trick of HEVC is the use of big ass CTUs that optimize the size of macroblocks within them. It works very well in high res video but once you get down to something like ultra poorfag 720p, HEVC only ends up being like ~30% more efficient than H264 and only a nut would use HEVC with DVDs.

>once you get down to something like ultra poorfag 720p, HEVC only ends up being like ~30% more efficient than H264
meaning it's worthless for anime, which is 720p and 5-10fps
now you know why it wasn't adopted
Josiah Morgan
10-bit HEVC is still useful for eliminating color banding at low bitrates since there's more hw decoding for that but not for 10-bit H264 for some retarded reason.
Josiah Butler
>proprietary shit
who cares
Aiden Cox
tldr between AV1 and H266 which am I going to use for anime in the future
Hudson Bennett
H264 because the 4K versions will be dogshit upscales.
Chase Edwards
Anime has tons of still shots which can take advantage of those huge CTUs so HEVC is like black magic at low bitrates for anime.
Ryan Stewart
If you're downloading TV shows as they air it's going to be H266/VVC at some point because that's the one getting used for japanese TV broadcasts
Luis Gonzalez
Except chinese cartoons compress really well with h265
Jonathan Brooks
I'd assume the downloads we get before blurays are out are from official streaming services, not from TV
Luis Ward
Nope. The Japanese TV broadcast standard is encrypted and nobody has managed to decrypt it, so people only upload recordings done with capture cards, and normally they're H.264, not even H.265.
Lucas Myers
>only a nut would use HEVC with DVDs
guess I'm a nut then; I would use AV1 for encoding DVDs but the encoder is bugged and chokes on half the DVDs I've tried, something to do with telecined cinema content
Andrew Sullivan
Actually [SSA] had really small (70mb for 480p) x265 encodes that were ideal for cellphones/portable media players/tablet/shittop form factors.
Even on the shittiest of devices, you could get good, fluid playback even at 2x or 3x speed using vlc (mpv is only good on x86.
Kayden Watson
AV1 can't handle old analog sources correctly and the MPEG still has film autists that care about that shit.
