Of course, the more viable AV1 is, the more pressure there would be on VVC patent holders to come up with a clearer licensing story than HEVC has been dealing with.

LOL, my original post was so full of spelling mistakes I couldn't even comprehend what I was trying to say.
Competition is great.
But I do see the need of Free to use Codec, I just wish they could allow VVC to be royalty free for software uses, and only collect royalty on dedicated hardware.
