What does Netflix has to do with AV1 codec? While Netflix’s Norkin has contributed some minor add-ons like film grain, Daala folks should have been mentioned along with x264/x264 guys who were at the origins on AV1 development, Google VP9 guys for their contributions and Intel maybe for HW porting, among others. Basically whomever pays for the show, gets to wear the crown. Nothing to see here…

What made it in from Daala?
* Multi-Symbol Entropy Coder
* Chroma from Luma
* CDEF filter (directional dering filter)
What didn't make it in?
* Lapped Transform
* Use of vector quantization for residuals (aligning the vectors)
