Re: [Trisquel-users] Thoughts on Cisco's royalty free video codec?

[tegskywalker]

Isn't the lead developer hired by Mozilla to work on the codec full time? If  
this was done in his free time only, then the long development time is  
understandable. Timing is everything as H265 could be pushed even further  
into our everyday lives while VP9 remains ignored and Daala still stays in  
development.

The NetVC codec is an interesting concept as it could potentially combine the  
work of Daala and Thor into a standardized open and royalty free codec. Let's  
just hope it doesn't take 10 years.
