It's a good sign that we are seeing so much competition so soon with AV1 encoders - the dearth of VP9 encoder competition until very recently stifled its chances of market penetration somewhat. |

H.264 had a great run for sure, HEVC was hampered with all the political/patent BS and we've been stuck with marginally slow encoding VP9. H.265 browser support would have been nice. it all gets so tiring I actually wish consumers had affordable FPGA options for encoders. There has to be a market somewhere out there worth tapping. |

HEVC works perfectly in the primary browsers of macOS (Safari) and Windows (Edge).
Google chose not to implement HEVC decoding in Chrome, unfortunately. I'm not aware of exactly why (since hardware decoders exist for all modern systems that they could just hook into), but it may be theological reasons. Maybe it was the unknown liability for licensing a software fallback decoder. They DID do this in Android. |

It'd be a trival patch to remove the block. The net effect of the block is that there isn't any premium content HDR in browsers, since there is no broadly available HW with DRM 10-bit decoder in modern browsers. Sent from my SM-T837V using Tapatalk |

And a bit of a rando question, not sure whether this is ffmpeg specific or VPX/VP9 specific.
2-pass CRF is nice, I like it, and it actually seems to run a tad bit faster than a traditional 2pass, which bringing potentially better compression. However I'm also interesting in vbv/constained buffer values. I have found examples of how to do such in a regular 2-pass encode, but I cannot find anything that says whether it will/won't work if you try it with a 2pass CRF encode. Can anyone elaborate on whether this would work, or how I could at least verify it with some test cases ? I'm worried if I specify anything other than b:v 0 it will fall back to some other mode, or not generally drop the bitrate below b:v X even if it can go lower than X |

Also you can considere to use GCP Cloud computing. It is an alternative to EC2, but with the huge advantage that most likely google offers a better integration with VP9

If you want video transcoding as a service you have a lot of options, but that's separate from any conversation about EC2 vs the equivalent on GCP. |

Apple appear to be rolling out VP9 suppprt across iOS, tvOS and MacOS/Safari.
Most of the news stories just say "4K Youtube support" but it appears to be via VP9.2 and hardware accelerated where the hardware supports it. https://webkit.org/blog/11183/releas...y-preview-112/ |

Very exciting. I've had my Apple TV on the beta for awhile, but YouTube is still HD-only there. I wonder what Apple devices actually offer hardware VP9 decoding under the hood that's just been disabled all this time?
