Believe its similar techniques to h.265 for AV1. That’s still going on…not sure if it will go anywhere.

boonhet@sopuli.xyz 21 hours agoDidn’t Dolby just sue Snap for using AV1? Claiming it uses similar techniques to h264 or 265 or something?

Shit I hadn’t heard of that. That makes me sad. I know from reading developer blogs at the time that they tried to use less established techniques in some places to try and avoid similarities. Let’s hope it proves to be enough in the lawsuit. That would be horrible if some dusty encumbant can crush the new codec at a critical time of its global adotion.

I hope this lawsuit starts a trail of failures for Dolby and they go under.
