I'm hoping MCW working on this means VVC won't face as much of an uphill battle with functional rate control or single threaded performance as VP9/AV1 did. Anyone know what their demo at NAB was like?

now, they did something to either the extension itself or Edge in March (likely both) and
finally fixed it, nearly two years later. I wonder if they've actually paid out to HEVC Advance / MPEG LA for all the free
HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer downloads out there.
You
used to be able to build Chromium itself using a modified ffmpeg build that could play anything (including HEVC) but the old methods you can find online no longer work.
