Comment on Dav1d: performance and completion of the first release

Comments

Congrats to everyone on the progress, and a huge thanks from me to all the devs who are working on this! Are there any performance comparisons with dav1d (AV1) vs ffvp9 (VP9)? I’m curious how expensive decoding AV1 is compared to VP9 (in software) (and I’m hoping someone else has already done the benchmarking so I won’t have to).

It is a bit more expensive, but not much, for the same quality (aka less bitrate). For same bitrate, it's 25%/30 more expensive.

No actual measure, just feeling from what we've seen.
