Notes
  1. Membership unknown due to conflicting reliable sources as of July 2018
gollark: Although maybe not because of diminishing returns.
gollark: But I guess 2x the quality at 2x the bitrate seems completely plausible.
gollark: I've heard it can do up to maybe 50% *bitrate* savings.
gollark: Compared to what?
gollark: VP9's pretty competitive with H.265 anyway.
