Sponsored by the Alliance for Open Media, dav1d is a joint effort between the French non-profit VideoLAN and the greater FFmpeg open source audio/video community. Dav1d in the browser upends these predictions. However, because AV1 is brand new and more sophisticated, some experts had predicted that market adoption would wait until 2020 when high-performance hardware decoders are expected. With files more than 30% smaller than today’s most popular web codec VP9, and nearly 50% smaller than its widely deployed predecessor H.264, AV1 allows high-quality video experiences with a lot less network usage, and has the potential to transform how and where we watch video on the Internet. Among these is the high performance, royalty free AV1 video decoder dav1d, now enabled by default on all desktop platforms (Windows, OSX and Linux) for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Tuesday’s release of Firefox 67 brought a number of performance enhancing features that make this our fastest browser ever.
