    What caught my attention other than the videos was this line.

    "Using a supported browser and choosing the 'Prefer AV1 for SD' setting on youtube.com/testtube, you should see AV1 used for these videos when playing less than 480p, switching to VP9 for higher resolutions."

    Can any one think of why they would use AV1 for low res and VP9 for high res? Is that due to some limitation in AV1 or just a lack of hardware decoders? Can any one speak to how AV1 implementation is doing in Mac land?
    If you're using a laptop with horrible thermal design this would be an obvious choice.
    AV1 on 1080p/4K w/o hw dec will turn the computer on your laptop into a hot iron in a few minutes.

    Update: things would be better if your laptop has decent thermal design -- you get a hair-dryer instead, which is more useful in modern days

There is just something fundamentally wrong with being able to spend $20M on a patent fortress, insert that fortress into a standard, then sit back and collect a $1B in royalties. Qualcomm is another good example of this. Why use a free technology when you can put a similar, patented one into the standard! I have no problem paying reasonable returns on R&D, 1000 to 1 is not a reasonable return.
      Anybody can call anything a "standard". It doesn't mean that the standard has any viable support outside the inventor's own bubble.

      Here the term simply means that they have a strict specification for the encoded streams that other implementations must abide to.

        be interested to know the comparison of encode/decode times.

          Could you describe what the differences sound like? Is there a perceptible signature for each codec (at higher bitrates), so you can tell them apart?

            0.5x the size means 2x the complexity. We're getting diminishing returns though:
            bitrate complexity
            h.263 1 1
            h.264 0.5 2
            h.265 0.25 4
            h.266 0.125 8
            The relative difference of bitrate continues to decrease while the relative complexity is skyrocketing.

            It also makes it hard to do low-latency video when the complexity is so high

              it doesn't. no content provider will be using it.

                no, it's compressed in av1. netflix is a founding member of alliance for open media and it doesn't give a fuck about fraunhofer or h.266

                    and all those 90% (and everyone else really) of usecases are using av1

                      Sadly, Opus is not as ubiquitous as MP3
