Let's be honest, we don't need any new video codecs because AVC is already an overkill solution that is universally supported throughout multiple generations of mobile and desktop platforms. Especially as compute-intensive as AV1.
Let's be honest...

AV1 is an open, royalty-free video coding format designed for video transmissions over the Internet.

What?
Jason Price
Already in chrome and supposedly will be supported in firefox 63.
Asher Carter
It will probably perform worse than HEVC just like VP8/VP9 did compared to H.264.
Adam Ross
Perform worse in what way? It certainly is able to produce the same quality at lower bitrates. The speed is and always will be the problem.

who cares about browsers when you can stream with mpv
Owen Parker
Without browsers having support, a website won't offer video in that format in the first place you dumbass.
Adrian Lewis
We absolutely need a good free video codec standard. And AV1 could be it if we somehow get an encoder which is by magnitudes faster than the current alternatives. This applies to VP9 too, btw, what a useless joke that is: Basically single-threaded. Fine if you have a ton of clusters encoding a ton of files (=youtube's use case). Totally useless for everyone else.

Nobody's optimising it for speed yet.

Normies are watching youtube cat videos in a browser, not monkey porn with mpv.
Weirdo.

>yet
as indicated, I really hope AV1 encoding becomes fast enough for it to be a viable alternative. I also have doubts. Because, said said, VP9 isn't there, it's not even close.
so it is a question of "yet" or "ever"

>DING DONG royalty-free
No more paying uncle goy for every device you ship with H.264/265
Connor Phillips
Valid scepticism, but at least we already got two non-commercial encoders. Hopefully the competition will move things forward.

AV1
AVI
Think about it.
Hunter Davis
Really makes you think.
Christian Edwards
Hear hear!

Let's be honest, we don't need more memory because 640K is already an overkill solution.
Noah Nguyen
JEM/VTM looks like it's already doing much better than AV1. Looks like they need to get going on AV2.
Xavier Jones
>because AVC is already an overkill solution
h264 is shit in anything above 1080p
Dylan Foster
Wtf is JEM?
Connor Gomez
>Nobody's optimising it for speed yet.
Not true.
rav1e and dav1d are well along
Christopher Barnes
Nah fuck H.264 non free bull crap
Justin Thomas
It's years away from being released and sites like Netflix and Youtube will never use it because of royalties anyway.
Thomas Nelson
That's just wrong
Adrian Miller
AV1 is literally thousands of times slower to encode than h264 and h265.
Enjoy encoding a 2 minute long video in 2 days length.
