The open source community released the first DAV1D codec based on AV1
The AV1 codec is a new video codec technology introduced by the Open Media Alliance. It is mainly used to promote the development of the Internet industry and compete with HEVC.
The Open Media Alliance is formed by industry-renowned technology companies such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Netflix.
The biggest advantage of the AV1 codec is that its efficiency is 20% higher than HEVC and the patent license is free, while HEVC collects royalties and charges are confusing.
The full version of the DAV1D codec is released:
The open source community, including VideoLAN/VLC/FFmpeg, created the DAV1D codec under the auspices of the Open Media Alliance for researcher reference optimization.
The DAV1D codec supports x86/x64/ARMv7/ARMv8 architecture and supports Windows/Linux/macOS/iOS and Android.
The open source community said that the new DAV1D codec is very fast on the desktop platform, and it is getting faster and faster on mobile platforms.
The official version released now can be integrated and used in the application. Of course, the open source community also hopes that more researchers will participate in research and improvement.
