🌘 讓 dav2d 誕生：VideoLAN 啟動全新 AV2 編解碼器計畫
➤ 繼 dav1d 之後，打造下一代開源視訊編碼標準的實作基礎
✤ https://jbkempf.com/blog/2026/dav2d/
隨著 AV2 編解碼器規範正式發布，VideoLAN 社羣宣佈啟動 dav2d 計畫。承襲前作 dav1d 在 AV1 領域的成功經驗，dav2d 旨在打造一個高效、輕量且跨平臺的 AV2 軟體解碼器。由於 AV2 的解碼複雜度較 AV1 提升了約五倍，硬體解碼普及前對高品質軟體解碼器的需求極為迫切。目前 dav2d 已具備基礎功能，並透過復用 dav1d 的架構經驗與驗證工具，加速了開發進程，確保在多樣化的硬體架構上皆能實現優異的效能表現。
+ 這對於 Linux 和開源軟體生態來說是巨大的福音，畢竟 AV2 的解碼負擔太重，沒有像 dav1d 這樣高效的軟體實作，要在瀏覽器和媒體播放器中推廣會非常困難。
+ 很佩服 VideoLAN 的團隊，他們總是在硬體廠商還沒反應過來之前，就先把軟體優化做到極

Face à l'évolution des besoins en streaming haute définition et à la saturation des réseaux, l'Alliance for Open Media prépare l'avenir. VideoLAN, fort du succès de dav1d, lance dav2d : un décodeur open source conçu pour démocratiser l'AV2.

#Dav2d : VideoLAN publie son décodeur #AV2 open source
https://next.ink/brief_article/dav2d-videolan-publie-son-decodeur-av2-open-source/

Presque huit ans après #Dav1d, #VideoLAN remet le couvert avec Dav2d. Comme son nom l’indique, c’est une implémentation logicielle pour décompresser des vidéos AV2, le codec en cours de développement par l’Alliance for Open Media. Il prend donc la suite de Dav1d – qui est l’acronyme récursif de Dav1d is an AV1 decoder – pensé pour le codec #AV1.
