There's a first staxrip test build with AV1 support, feedback for tab names and labels would be a really helpful.

I hope you have a huge warning somewhere that people should really not encode videos in AV1 if they care to be playable in the future? AV1 is not done yet, and files encoded with a certain encoder version will not be compatible with future decoders.

I guess you are right, I've changed the title bar to: Under construction, AV1 isn't finished yet

This paper made the same error as their previous VP9 comparison paper. They allow x265 to do fixed quantizer modulation, but lock AV1 to a single quantizer per frame. x265's --qp option still varies per-frame qp's via ipFactor and pbFactor. Even if they had set both x265 factors to 1.0, there would still be the problem that H.265 itself maps the QP value to different "real" quantizers based on keyframe or not, as part of the bitstream. So you'd actually have to null that out with a "backwards" ipFactor, or adjust AV1 to have a similar boost. |

which intel chip?
Anyone have a prediction on which intel series chip/igpu this will make it into?
- coffee lake - cannonlake - later? Coffee Lake seems unlikely since timing is about the same time as they plan to freeze the AV1 bitstream, unless the alliance has been working VERY closely with intel. Cannonlake even shortly after seems like it's rather tight. |

Seems likeliest that the first accelerated implementations will be GPGPU or DSP based prior to ASIC for at least a year after bitstream is frozen later this year (assuming they manage to freeze at all this year).

A more interesting question is whether AV1 will be more amenable to parallel implementations than VP9, or even HEVC - which was a key goal originally for Daala, given the slow progress in CPU single thread performance, GPGPU or some other massively parallel accelerator represents a far more efficient target, and OTOY's ORBX codec shows that it can be done, strange that they are completely absent from the Alliance to be honest.

Ah, when talking about parallelism, I meant the encoder rather than the decoder, which is usually more compute intensive and seems to increase in complexity sometimes an order of magnitude or more per generation, while the decoder seems to be only a modest increase albeit still enough to hurt in the current climate of slow single thread improvement.
It seems that the likes of Netflix and Google get around parallelisation limits (atleast limits that dont impact compression efficiency) of H264, HEVC and VP9 by employing chunked encoding over the gamut of a server farm/datacenter, but this is still limited to CPU compute. It would be interesting to see if we could at least see GPGPU employed efficiently for chunked encoding, if not for full length videos. |

Without wanting to get too much into detail, I would claim that the issue here is in the implementation, not the format. There are alternative VP9 encoder implementations that are far less limited in their parallelism.

The thing about GPGPU is that it only works well if a simple task can be parallized a whole lot. Encoding thousands of chunks at the same time would not be very simple (in fact a single chunk would be rather complex), and likely not work very well. I do think however that the codecs we currently have do scale well enough to keep multi-core CPUs busy just fine, encoder implementations not withstanding.

I would imagine that the first GPUs implementing hardware AV1 decoding would be the middle of 2018 at the earliest.
CPU-wise, that would line up well with Zen2 APUs (H2 2018 - H1 2019) but if you insist on Intel you'd have to wait for Icelake in 2019. |

And 2 new members : Hulu and Argon Design.

And I hope the command line interface design and documentation improves to the same excellence as x264 and x265.
