Die #Lizenzgebühr für #H264 / #AVC wurde teils um das 45-Fache erhöht. Neue Streaming-Anbieter zahlen künftig bis zu 4,5 Mio. Dollar für den #Video-#Codec. Das dürfte auch Abopreise weiter nach oben treiben. https://winfuture.de/news,157928.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
H.264-Lizenzgebühren massiv erhöht - Was das für Verbraucher heißt

Die Via Licensing Alliance erhöht die Lizenzgebühren für den Video-Codec H.264 massiv. Neue Streaming-Anbieter zahlen künftig bis zu 45-mal mehr als bisher. Das bedroht den Wettbewerb und dürfte zu einer weiteren Verteuerung von Streaming-Abos beitragen.

To any #video #codec expert on the Fediverse:

Can we expect #AV1 to replace #H264 any time soon? What is holding it back and by whom / why?!

https://www.tomshardware.com/service-providers/streaming/h264-streaming-license-fees-jump-from-100000-to-4-5-million

Firm quietly boosts H.264 streaming license fees from $100,000 up to staggering $4.5 million — backbone codec of the internet gets meteoric increase, AVC hikes follow disastrous H.265 licensing increases

Existing licensees are grandfathered.

I use a PiKVM for work to control access to a small build lab, they really are excellent little devices and a very cool project - the team are super responsive and helpful on their Discord server.

By default, the PiKVM uses an H264 protocol to stream content from the device to your browser... guess what isn't enabled / available in Firefox on Fedora 44 beta ??

Прямая трансляция во Flutter через WebCodecs: как пришлось написать свой декодер

Когда live-видео приходит как сырой H.264 поток через WebSocket, стандартные Flutter-плееры перестают работать. В этой статье я разбираю, почему готовые решения не подошли и как я пришёл к необходимости реализации собственного декодера на C++ с использованием FFmpeg.

Многие наверняка уже имели опыт реализации прямой трансляции в мобильных приложениях, и я в том числе был уверен, что сделать фичу не займет много времени с помощью таких библиотек как: video_player /...

Rockchip RK3588 and RK3576 H.264 and H.265 video decoders gain mainline Linux support

Rockchip RK3588 and RK3576 H.264 and H.265 video decoders gain mainline Linux support

VDPU381 and VDPU383 video decoders are found in Rockchip RK3588 and RK3576 SoCs and variants like the RK3588S and RK3576J. So far, we had to rely on the Rockchip BSP to support hardware video decoding, but Collabora has just announced upstream/mainline Linux support for H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC) video decoding for RK3588 and RK3576 SoCs. Highlights of H.265/H.264 video decoder implementation on mainline Linux: A 17-patch series adding decoder support, in addition to dt-bindings and device tree nodes New V4L2 HEVC UAPI controls for explicit short-term and long-term RPS (Reference Picture Set) handling Fixing a non-obvious IOMMU restore issue caused by decoder-embedded IOMMU resets Struct-based register programming model to enforce completeness, ordering, and future multi-core readiness The new V4L2 UAPI controls for HEVC long and short-term Reference Picture Set (RPS) are required for the VDPU381 (RK3588) and VDP383 (RK3576) video decoders, contrary to some other decoders (e.g., VeriSilicon) that

@swanson you can thank the value-removing rentseekers of #MPEGLA for that.

  • Also I'd recommend using #ProRes 4:2:0 instead of #H264 anyway since it's trading CPU for IOPS.
