Thanks Yes I meant officially. Was hoping the we could set stage for VVC little earlier. I know VVC is not popular on HN or literally anywhere on Internet but I do hope to see it moving forward instead of something like MPEG-5 EVC which is somewhat dead in the water.

I don't know that having so many codecs is a good thing unless they really add something. How does it compare to av1 (which I was under the impression is coming to be the natural successor of hevc, with hardware support)?

Comparing to AV1, VVC / H.266 is expected to offer 20-30% reduction in Bit-Rate with similar quality at similar level of computational complexity. And it is already deployed and used in real world in China and India. I believe Brazil are looking to use it as their next generation codec for broadcasting along with LCEVC.

Here's the Brazil website.

And their video codec testing.

And ATSC 3.0 will also be using VVC.
