AV1 royalty free while 30 % more efficient than latest H.265 and was developed by Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Firefox, Netflix, Apple, Nvidia, Arm, Cisco, IBM, Facebook, Intel as founding members. It is reported that Netflix has started encoding in AV1 for beta testing. AV1 is expected to hit market by 2020.

    In terms of networking and streaming videos, there are Intra-Frames, Prediction-Frames, and Bi-Directional Prediction Frames. I-Frames simply use information based off of what is in front of it in the sequence and can either fill in missing sections of the frame OR build itself up from scratch, P-Frames can look backwards in the sequence to help predict what the current frame should look like, finally there are B-Frames which can look forwards and backwards in the sequnce and can build itself up or fill in certain parts. Keep in mind Bframes use the most overhead during transmission.

      You clearly don't know anything about avi if you don't miss it. There was never anything wrong with avi, it can do HD content, 7.1 surround audio, h.264, etc... file size was never really bigger in my experience, there's literally nothing at all wrong with it. MKV on the other hand, pisses me off... not supported when directly connected to tv, requires special codec on PC to play the file, and the only advantage mkv has over mp4 is the ability to have chapters in the video. I'm ok with mp4 taking over avi, but if it was mkv taking over avi, then I'd be upset.

      Commercial use costs money. For example the lowered H.265 costs: "The first 100,000 units a year are free of royalty. After that it is a simple 20 US cents per unit, which is the same basic payment unit that was eventually settled on for H.264." - www.theregister.co.uk/2014/10/03/hevc_patent_terms_thrashed_out_but_look_whos_not_at_the_codec_party_microsoft_and_google/

    For non tech types like myself, when I get done editing a video on Movavi video editor, it's just lists a bunch of file formats to chose from, I usually chose MP4, but after watching this video I now kind of know what the others stand for.
    But for a novice like myself, none of that really matters...as long as it plays on YT, I could really care the less.
    I can tell most people leaving comments are computer engineers and programmers.
    But now, at least with Movavi, so much is done for you, you don't have to know the programming side of much of anything anymore...which is both good and bad, I suppose.

      Which is strange, since MP4s have a variety of rates and usually fire in excess of 23 times per second, sometimes even like 60 times a second :O
      Full auto, too, of course. You don't have to keep hitting "play" either.
      MP4s can also be _completely_ silenced without affecting performance _at all_ !
      Most MP4s have little to no recoil, and children have no trouble operating them.

      VatroxPlays I think it’s because they’re not streamable. I thought you could though. I am not sure. If you can’t though that’s probably why. I have noticed that it has to convert the video before it uploads from let’s say a iPhone. You can tell because if you plug in let’s say an iPhone which records in MOV, you will have to copy the video to your computer before you can play it. I think that’s the reason if it’s even like that but I’m not sure. If that’s not the reason it’s probably just because Google doesn’t want to support Apple's QuickTime codec since they are kinda rival companies.

    • @cjxgraphics

  • @MelvinGundlach
    @MelvinGundlach 6 років тому +8

    MP4 can obviously hold HEVC streams as well. And it is not limited to AAC or MP3. It can hold PCM, AC3 (Dolby Digital) or a number of other audio stream types. Also, if a M4V file is DRM protected, it doesn’t help to just change the file name ending.
    All in all, one of the worst researched videos on this channel.
