Karl was not among them he stayed at Real and still is there worked on some Cloud Sureplay seemless Device Transcoding and Player parts it seems

2014-16: RealTimes for Mac

Though the Chinese (Asian) arm of Real still seems to actively working on the Content Creation part and also update it most probably based on the older code path (RV10)

Most probably though in the comparison range of VP9 at best or a weak GPU IHV H.265 Encoder
Sorry if this is going to be off Daala's topic a little.

ARH!. Yes, That NGV.
WHY THE HECK did Intel decide to invest in RV11 aka NGV? And then not release anything and Kill it?

I think ( not sure now ), Real Producer, or the rmvb encoder itself has some of the best default Pre and Post Processing settings, you get very decent results without any tweaking or parameters. RM was crap. RMVB totally changes the game. It goes from amazing in Anime and very decent in other categories. It doesn't preserve any grain in movies, so it never did well in high quality Rips.

And it is for this very reason, I never liked VP8, VP9, or VP10. Even after the acquisition of Google, they still smells of On2.
