Getting it to be better than HEVC is a goal of theirs, although we'll see when the first version of it actually gets finished Quote:

Is that the new vp8-dev or the "old" vp8 ? |

One of the major issues isn't really in coming up with better ideas, though that is definitely not easy, it's making sure to avoid the patent minefield. You can believe that anything like Daala will have the hounds at places like MPEG-LA chomping at the bit to find people with relevant patents.

Hopefully there is an Opus for Video as well. But i think Video Patents are much worst then audio. Having said that no one so far has complained and sue Google for Vp8 yet which is strange.
There was that Next Gen Real Video which is now dead in the water. It seems DS is involved in Daala as well ( What an Ugly Name ), xvp8, x265, xdaala? Which comes first.? Last edited by iwod; 18th August 2012 at 09:32. |

it is difficult to know which will come first as google always keeps quiet regarding their development. Daala is still in the design stages at the moment, who knows how long until a fully fuctional version is ready. HEVC is due to be ratified in January. At which point hardware vendors can start developing dedicated ASIC for hardware decoding of HEVC. It will be a while for a half decent encoder is released though. Daala will surely be first out with a good encoder before HEVC. Google is an unknown. I wish they would just help out with Daala, then it would be even better and released even quicker and less likely to encounter patent lawsuits.

That said, it has nothing to do with next-gen formats. Also, I'm not sure if I'm misreading your post, but AFAIK D_S is not involved with the x265 project that is on Google Code. The person developing that is a guy who used to contribute a couple of commits to x264 back in 2004.

Daala wiki lists Jason and Loren as having been involved in discussions about it.
http://wiki.xiph.org/Daala Take from that what you will.

Make your own conclusion. Until now MPEG-LA doesn't present any lawsuit against Google. And apparently it won't happen any time soon. I'm not an open-source-only follower and I really like the standards like H.264, HEVC, AAC as well as open source formats as Vorbis, Opus, VP8, Daala. But when I've started to prepare for public test of Opus ( an open source audio format) with Hydrogen Audio community I've received a ridiculuos critics. It's not hard to imagine that people behind it were involved to development and sells of H.264 and AAC encoders (as it was pretty obvious at that point Opus was quite better than AAC/HE-AAC). P.S. The same way as MPEG-LA can accuse organizations which develop open source formats the last ones can accuse MPEG-LA of patent troll. It's not that easy.

Hmmm....
I thought the scope of this topic was to discuss the merits of HEVC (aka: H.265) - Not patents, lawsuits and who stole what from whom!

No-one has yet come up with developing a HEVC encoder based on x264. The x265 project started by a guy who has a couple of commits in x264 from 2004 is seemingly a clear from-zero project, not related to x264.
Another HEVC encoder project I've noticed was started by a person I know, and he is seemingly working on it every now and then. Nothing worth calling home about (yet). As for decoders, smarter from libav has gotten intra frames to work it seems. tl;dr If you expect a HEVC encoder on the base of x264, there is no such thing around or even in the design phase.

I believe posters are mistaken who think that HEVC will take a long time to become mainstream. It won't be driven by broadcasters. It will be driven by Apple and IP video delivery costs/quality. Apple will introduce it into some next generation devices in the next few years and the cost/quality benefits will do the rest. 4K video over IP anyone?

i doubt that average user will dump current fullhd display for expensive fancy 4k. the same rule applies to fullhd camcorders.
besides insead of 4k i would like to see 1080p at the same bitrate on youtube.
