  1. …article, but I would think it behaves better than libaom for the same quality setting. Edit: found https://github.com/xiph/rav1e/issues/2759

  2. …see it very often in codec implementations. From rav1e, a fast AV1 encoder mostly written in Rust: https://github.com/xiph/rav1e/tree/master/src/x86 Portions of the algorithm have been translated into assembly for ARM and x86. Shaving even…

  4. …for Open Media, which Intel is deeply involved with and is spending a lot of time optimising. https://github.com/xiph/rav1e - written in rust, also subject to a lot of optimising. It's not complete coverage of all features, intended to be…

  7. …Ie wrap the kernel function with one that does all the checks elided in the kernel. Source: Wrote https://github.com/xiph/rav1e/pull/1716 , which speeds up the non-asm encodes by over 2x!

  9. …3. Mozilla's rav1e encoder. Implemented in Rust. Vimeo is also contributing to it: https://github.com/xiph/rav1e 4. Cisco AV1. Closed source. It's the best live encoder yet shown. Only takes it about one and a half cores on a recent laptop…

  10. …In the end, I am quite happy with the tiling structures API, but a lot of work (and [boilerplate]( https://github.com/xiph/rav1e/tree/f1c43dbdc52016f67ecf33383... ) was necessary to implement them.

  13. …which is critical for something like WebRTC. For example, rav1e still needs multithreading support: https://github.com/xiph/rav1e/issues/132 And once encoders are ironed out, hardware support is also needed.

  16. There are some: https://github.com/xiph/rav1e The projects behind this project are all in C, so I imagine that’s why. They probably don’t want to commit to Rust on the basis of this codec alone.
