AV2 next-generation video coding specification
> AV2 is the next-generation video coding specification from the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia). Building on the foundation of AV1, AV2 is engineered to provide superior compression efficiency, enabling high-quality video delivery at significantly lower bitrates. It is optimized for the evolving demands of streaming, broadcasting, and real-time video conferencing. > > This specification serves as the definitive technical reference for AV2 implementations. It outlines the bitstream syntax, semantics, and decoding processes required to ensure full conformance. > > AV2 provides enhanced support for AR/VR applications, split-screen delivery of multiple programs, improved handling of screen content, and an ability to operate over a wider visual quality range.

Been using #Handbrake to transcode tv show episodes into #AV1 from #HEVC. Took one episode down from 5.6gb to 384mb which was insane. Using very high quality settings, uses a lot of power/CPU so probably not worth it $-wise but hey, gotta use this machine for something!
About to edit video and photos taken at the karate belt test yesterday. Let’s see how she performs with #DXO #Photolab and #DaVinci #Resolve. #mac #apple #m5max

There is renewed questioning whether the AV1 & AV2 codecs are patent encumbered and royalty-free or not pending the outcome of the Dolby vs. Snapchat lawsuit. I already use the AV1 codec and it works well. I'd be disappointed if it was no longer a royalty-free option.
