I set up MPC-HC on my laptop so that I can use it when I'm on battery to save power as it can use the Intel Quick Sync Video hardware decoder for H.264. When I'm not on battery I go back to using VLC.

is anyone else hype for vp10 av1? it will be so nice to finally have an actually-good royalty-free codec with real hardware support. the best part is how it only happened because the h265 patent-holders were greedy fucks who couldnt just be happy with what they were getting to keep the gravy train rolling but instead had to ask for so much that even loving netflix (who people actually pay for their content) couldnt afford the royalties.

av1 is the future, but the bitstream freeze has been pushed back to october so it will be a while before ubiquitous support is out there.

it's nice to see software patent bullshit finally bite these companies in the rear end. with h.264 you dealt with paying royalties, with a yearly cap, to mpeg-la and that was it. with h.265 you have to deal with two separate patent pools, each with their own licensing terms and fees on top of some individual companies who aren't part of either pool. licensing h.265 ends up costing something like 10x more than h.264 if you make hardware or software.

a lot of the companies who joined aom and offered up their patents for royalty-free use were actually part of the patent pools for h.264 and h.265, but h.265's licensing was so lovely that even the companies who were in on it didn't want to deal with it.

anyone know what setup you need to get hw decode on youtube's vp9 4k videos?

I think either a skylake cpu, kabylake cpu, or keppler gpu, plus chrome or edge?

annoyingly i can decode them fine but it's loving compositing performance of all things that's causing me frame drops when i maximize?

skylake has "partial" VP9 support; kaby lake has "full support" whatever that means: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video#Quick_Sync_development

you have to have the GPU enabled in bios (even if you're not using it) and a proper version of the Intel video drivers installed, and hardware acceleration enabled in your browser

Opera has a real nifty feature where, for the battery saver mode, it asks any site that's able to drop down to AVC if the hardware codec doesn't support other stuff, to make sure it uses the least power possible. chrome needs to get off its rear end and figure that out

Technicolor SA was initially a member, but announced in February 2016 that they had withdrawn from the patent pool and would be directly licensing their HEVC patents.

i actually had to use one of those at a job in 2014 because it was for a cheap rear end company and it felt anachronistic as gently caress using a massive crt. at least it used sdi lol tho i think that was on an expansion board which they had to pay extra for lol
