New H.265 twice as efficient as H.264!

I hope my in-a-rush abrupt response above didn’t appear abrasive, for it was not at all intended to be ….I didn’t have time to search for the patent notice. In a nutshell, due to it being less *demanding*, an advantage of a single layer solution is that some users with ‘existing’ chips (as in some older TV models) might not “get the shaft”. Question then becomes…will the quality be as good as dual-layer HDR.

I say Good Luck with the *consortium* and your proprietary codec ….http://www.studiodaily.com/2015/04/v...nt-h-264-hevc/

Is this a April fools joke or Vapor

The perseus codec is real but the statements about it are probably nothing more than hot air. I have seen dozens of companies come out with video standards that were supposed to change the world but all that happened was that the companies sucked up millions of dollars and than vanished.

In my opinion the only video standards that have even a small chance of competing with HEVC would be VP9 (it can do good quality but requires a higher bit rate) and Daala (still under development and requires a higher bit rate). If the uncertainty about the HEVC patents gets bad I could see VP9 getting added as a fall back option. It is probably too late to do that with Ultra HD Blu-ray but I am sure that a lot of companies are worried that HEVC is going to end up with MPEG-2 level royalties.

VP9 smacks of YouTube, it will have been geared towards streaming at all costs, I doubt I will be proven wrong.

I don't like vp9 it makes some odd choices, I can't describe it but in stuff I encoded the HEVC stuff just looks better

Another point about VP9 that makes it less desirable is that Google are planning to release new iterations of it on a 18 month period, by the time ULTRA HD Blu-ray is in the mainstream VP9 will be in the double digits. None of the newer iterations of it are likely to be compatible with ultra HD Blu-ray, therefore it is unlikely to be used on the format, like I said it stinks of YouTube.

Broadcom and Elemental Tech have finally chimed in, scroll to the bottom of the page - http://www.v-net.tv/stealth-compress...formance-gains

Can’t you just sense their ringing endorsement for V-Nova’s new algorithm?

V-Nova picked a tough time to enter the market because they will have to compete with my own VargocodeⓇ codec which I will be launching next week and is over 9000 times more efficient than HEVC. The first 100 investors get a free ride on my flying pig.

Now that's something I've always yearned to do. What's the buy in?

Oh, they’re quite serious about desiring to make lots of money.
