🧑‍⚖️ AV1’s open, royalty-free promise in question as Dolby sues Snapchat over codec

｢ Dolby asserts that AV1 “reuses” concepts from HEVC, for which implementation is generally understood to come with licensing and royalty fees, and that the codecs “are ‘based on the same hybrid block-based video-coding flow’ and employ nearly the same approach to dividing images into coding units… and blocks,” ｣

Very useful #TestNumbers (for #UK #IE #USA #CA and #MX ) for testing all kinds of #telephones (from your #mobilephone to #VOIP and even any remaining #landlines) - they provide the same level of tests that #Openreach and other telcos have access to, you can check if #DTMF is working well and that #codecs or poor #network conditions aren't mangling the audio..

finally back to editing the video, and I've now found that FFV1 mostly does not have hardware accelerated encode/decode on Linux yet (ffmpeg shipped major improvements last summer, but ffmpeg is not VLC or Kdenlive)

that's too bad, because it's a lot more space-efficient than HuffYUV, but if my (fairly ancient) laptop chokes on 1080p30 playback due to using the CPU exclusively, I can't use it.
