FFmpeg VP9 Decoder Claims To Be The World's Fastest
![MULTIMEDIA](/assets/categories/multimedia.webp)
TheFFvp9 decoder is written from scratch for FFmpeg and aims to be a fast, free, community-developed implementation similar to ffvp8. FFvp9 claims to be faster than the libvpx-based decoder by 25~50% on a variety of machines and there's also significant improvements too in multi-threaded performance.
To learn more about the FFvp9 decoder that was written by Ronald Bultje and Clément Bœsch, read this weekend's blog post by Bultje. Update: It's also worth pointing out that FFmpeg's VP8 decoder was/is also faster than Google's own VP8 video decoder.
