In the meantime KZfaq still recommends using H.264 video uploads 😵‍💫

Hopefully, we get 12-bit colour and 4:4:4 chroma sampling with H.266 as well

VVC will be a big player soon enough. One of the advantages with licensing groups is that to an extent they indemnify large corporations again't patent lawsuits. This is one reason why Apple has never supported FLAC as an audio codec. VC1 is here to stay because this video doesn't fully encapsulated how the MPEGLA hindered the transition to HEVC because of onerous increases in licensing costs. VC1 will keep them honest about VVC licensing. For consumers Decode performance is key. I suspect we'll see hardware decode support for VVC in the media players from 2024 and on as Mediatek is already shipping the Pentonic 2000 with VVC decoding in this years HDTV sets. Good compression is vital, the ability to distribute more high quality streams is crucial in not only commercial but residential applications. Dante already supports h.264 and h.265 with Dante AV-H adding VVC is only going to improve the reach.

AV2 will be out by the time H.266 would be viable

Why can't the makers of h265 just simplify the licensing model? I think a lot of people would prefer h265 due to it's bit efficiency and it's simplicity compared to AV1 and VVC/h266 (i.e. it's a lot less computationally expensive to encode and decode making it easier to run on old hardware)

AV1 reigns supreme

Well. Looks like the internet picked the codec. Which is Av1. As royalties for 20% more compression just isn't worth it for companies. Av1 is now widely adopted, and all newer GPU's now have hardware accelerated decode, and encode (For the latest gen)

H266 is ages away from getting hardware decoders, both phones and laptops, because of the complexity to decode you can not even use it like AV1 right now, imagine hardware encoding, imposible for consumers, at least in a couple of years, by then most of the devices will have AV1 decoders and decents CPU and GPU to encode. I'm already transitioning to AV1. AV1 is already adopted by KZfaq (not completely), OBS and most video editors, Android 14 requires hardware decoding, and SoC this year will have AV1 encoding support (not all of them). My laptop can handle up to 2k 60FPS editing, encoding in my laptop is slow, no hardware encosing but the CPU can encode 2K and even 4K.

Is it VCC or VVC? The websites that you've shown use both.

I did'nt find any program support h266

Interesting, Wonder if my older potatoes can't run it well. 264 and 265 are still going strong.

I will be waiting for an easy to use encoder for h266 like x264 or x265 for its predecessors.

and which program convert to h266 actually?

Just wondering how much longer did AV1 take to decode over H265?

what about live streaming then if the encoding process is longer?

VVC codec is for 8K physical media of 8K TV's take off

Once upon a time long ago there was BETA. Along came VHS and Sony lost the battle. It's all about the money$. H.266 may win if MC-IF can get their transparent licensing working. Sony failed and the industry went VHS. Will history repeat itself?

The torrents already have Venom and John Wick Chapter 4 in HD and UHD

Damn AV1 had a Super Short Life. H.266 is gonna wreck Everything.
