HEVC/H265 is the successor to H264 and produces smaller files of equivalent quality. The idea is to test the following codecs, both old and new, to get a better idea of they answer the questionsĪVC/H264 is the current generation codec and what most people use to create a video on the web. The Repository at contains the scripts used on this test along with 2 example videos for you to duplicate the tests on your system. The flip-side is that I get the most complete implementation of the codec and its tools available. Because I’m running the code from Git I’m playing with fire as the code may have bugs or other unexpected issues. I expect this to change now that the bitstream is frozen, however with all the active work going on with the codec, I don’t know when/if that will happen.įor AV1, I run the code from the and update it before every experiment using the instructions on the repository. I have yet to play an AV1 file (that I encoded or downloadded from third parties) successfully in a release (3.0.1 on MacOS) or nightly (041218 on MacOS).Īs of the writing of this article FFMPEG does not support AV1. VLC has support for AV1 playback but it doesn’t work with the latest build of the encoder reference implementation. It is not clear if the bitstream work has actually been finalized or if this was done to present a “finished” product at NAB. The alliance for Open Media froze bitstream format on Maand announced version 1.0 of the codec on the same day.
