vp9, on the other hand, is a haphazard little project that seems more poorly managed than a lot of community projects. Google only seems to care about it as far as it can be used to reduce Youtube's bandwidth bills, and any attempt to mimic x264's and x265's excellent command line, multicore use, rate control, and exhaustive documentation are basically ignored.

I gave the new release a shot, but I didn't bother with a full test suite, it wasn't noticeably faster than 1.4 nor any better quality in the first (although some artifacts changed). They haven't updated the rate control, so what's the point in testing two-pass, it'll still be just as wildly off. Maybe it's just ARM optimizations.

Edit: Missed that this was a splinter thread, not the main VP9 thread.
