@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.

@ezra personally I think #Apple should be forced.to implement #AV1 & #WebM and that @EUCommission could mandate #OpenStandards.

  • As for quality, were it not for #patents and espechally #SoftwarePantents, we'd have way better #Codecs, but this way people engineering a #FLOSS #Codec are constantly required to specifically avoid infringement of Patents and other IP by not using anything remotely related to it...

Also if #H265 wasn't #patented and facing #PatentTrolls and #rentseekers we'd see way better quality there as well.

  • Cuz #CCSS & #FLOSS can't share code nor expertise at all.

And yes, Apple (#MPEGLA-Member) is at the root of the problem!

not that vp9 is bad quality, leagues better than h264, just not as good as the others imo. i'd say please use vp9 for web video but unfortunately Tim Apple and we're stuck with h264 because iphone users exist EDIT this is not a slight at iphone users, keep using what works for you, did not mean for this to hit so hard with the fossbros lol, this is a slight at tim apple
