Thanks for the link. For some reason my RSS reader ( likely in the Google Reader transition ) lost Kostya's feed. He used to be the one implementing all these obscure video codec.

And the article summarise nicely everything I loathe about AV1 and Baidu. I could only wish VVC or EVC fix what problem we have, or if not let hope they do better with AV2.

P.S - I am still not convinced Apple is fully on board with Open Media Alliance.
