gollark: H.266 recently got standardized, which could be cool if they don't bee the licensing like with H.265, as it's faster to encode than AV1 but has greater bitrate savings.
gollark: However, it has about 10x worse encoding speed, and the encoders are not hugely production-ready, so use is basically limited to giant interweb companies.
gollark: AV1 is better from a licensing perspective, and more bitrate-efficient than H.265.
gollark: Like how even though H.265 is better than H.264 in basically every way, half the internet is stuck on H.264 because ??? licensing ????? Chromium.
gollark: Anyway, obviously the round earth is a superior technical solution, but you can bodge the flat-earth thing into *kind of* working and the patent issues make it much cheaper.
