looks at if AV2 is dead in the water https://www.sisvel.com/insights/av2-is-coming-sisvel-is-prep... yep

They've done the same thing with AV1, and I can't see that having prevented adoption, nor can I imagine Sisvel wanting to poke the bear that is AOMedia unless they're certain their case is absolutely watertight.

I see zero public evidence that they've filed any lawsuits against the members of AOM in any jurisdiction. I'm sure there's been a lot of threatening letters sent...

Its pretty explicitly not a tragedy of the commons. Its a tragedy of the ruling class abusing the resources of the 'commons' to extract value. There is nothing 'commons' about trillion dollar companies extracting all available value from the labor of the working class. That's just the tragedy that'll bring around the death of society, the same tragedy that brings all other tragedys

There’s definitely lots of problems with the ruling class and wealth disparity. Perhaps the defining problems of our current age. That being said, so many of the plebs suck. Like 2% will ruin everything for everyone.

While a lot of the plebs do suck, a pleb who sucks causes way less problems than a big corp that sucks simply by virtue of not having too much resources.

Not on topic, but wow the internet has very quickly devolved into: click -> "making sure you're not a bot", click -> "making sure you're a human", click -> "COOKIES COOKIES COOKIES", click -> "cloudflare something something"

Wow I’m glad it’s not just me. I thought my IP block had gotten caught up in some known spamming or something.

Same, which is what makes it seem to me that that case is absolutely not watertight. Those patents are probably all about esoteric minutiae (to be fair, that's because that's what it takes to make a better video codec these days) and everything and anything that can seemingly be connected to AV2 (or AV1 for that matter), many of which have only gotten a patent because the person approving it only barely understands what it's saying.

I would even remove the C code and lower the usage of the assembler pre-processor to a basic C pre-processor.

Happy, AV2 decoding already here.

The internet is such a Tragedy of the Commons… its citizens that act selfishly and in bad faith will slowly make it unusable.

No, it is because citizen allow treating them like this.

We must not continue to develop media codecs in memory unsafe languages. Small, auditable sections can opt-out perhaps, but choosing default-unsafe for this type of software is close to professional negligence.

Of the 3 software AV1 encoders, the only one that is fully dead is the Rust encoder (rav1e). If people truly wanted memory safe encoders/decoders, they would fund and develop them.

And who ever heard of this in the majority of the world? It was news to me, I'm white and European btw. Did you know the US consititues about 4% of humans? When we look at adults and age range that likely ever hear of D4vd we are talking probably considerably less that 1%. The rest of humanity has no negative association with these four letters.

It was my first thought when I saw the name, unfortunately. The US constitutes a large portion of this site's user base. Whether the association sticks around is yet to be seen.

It's rarely been the citizens that have been the problem, but the governments and companies that seek the use the network connection for their overwhelming benefit.

Glorious. Really looking forward to seeing how much better than AV1 it actually turns out to be. It's a shame it'll take a while before we'll have a decent encoder (it took an annoyingly long time until SVT-AV1 was usable).
