What about the upcoming 'AV1' codec? (Score: 1) by wootery@pipedot.org on 2016-07-10 17:53 (#1KWRZ) Isn't this going to be deprecated as soon as the planned AV1 codec is released?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliance_for_Open_Media Re: What about the upcoming 'AV1' codec?

So quite a bit was glossed over or only hinted at.It should be said that the WebM project also had several large supporters, yet VP8/VP9 decoding only made it into a tiny amount of hardware, products and services. Google was also slow about making YouTube videos available as VP8/VP9. But they did make progressively more headway in software and standards, so it's a hopeful sign that so even more major organizations are interested this time around. Perhaps this dual standardization process, making it no longer just a Google's own codec, will lead to the wide adoption the WebM project was working and hoping for.
