Google sparks controversy after confirming AV1 will become the new default
Google sparks controversy after confirming AV1 will become the new default
Yeah. This seems a bit quick given the adoption of hardware decoders. I would have thought they would have waited a while longer before actually changing the default.
The benefits are real, though. AV1 is extremely efficient and it looks markedly better than alternatives even at lower bitrates.
