VVCenc (H266) and VVCdec included in FFMPEG 7.1 - Blu-ray Forum

The MPEG I encoder and decoder is apart of new FFMPEG 7.1 from September 30th, 2024. I hope firmware updates include MPEG I decoders for my 4k Sony TV. The VVCenc is stable now. I don't know if FFMPEG has x266 or VVCenc, but I read its VVCenc.

Good for home movies and streaming uploads.

VVC is already implemented in the newer MediaTek UHDTV SOCs, so if your 4K TV uses one of those, then you already have it. FFMPEG updates are put forth primarily for SOFTWARE decoding (Software decoder and CPU) and not HARDWARE decoding (SoC GPU/decoder chip), which is what TVs use. While it is possible to use FFMPEG to bring new codecs to older TVs, it's usage has to be configured to squeeze as much performance from the older hardware as it can and it requires use of a third-party player like VLC, unless the manufacturer decides to be nice and updates the built-in media player with new decoder software.

My Sony TV runs Linux Kernel 4.19.75 so VVC software decoder would be included in a firmware update. You're right its Android TV 10 so my TV has VLC Player. Certainly a future VLC release for Android TV 10 would decode VVC.

VLC reads my thumb drive better, but the JPEG/Webp slideshow on VLC for Android is glitchy and only works for one image.

Did you know LAV Filter 0.79 also has a VVC decoder?
