There is an odd contrast between this article and the announcement in January of broad support for VP9 from hardware manufacturers: As Google announced today, however, virtually all major hardware vendors will soon support VP9 natively in their products and allow Google’s YouTube to stream HD content up to 4K directly to computers, TVs and mobile devices. These new hardware partners include ARM, Broadcom, Intel, LG, Marvell, MediaTek, Nvidia, Panasonic, Philips, Qualcomm, RealTek, Samsung, Sigma, Sharp, Sony and Toshiba.[1] I wonder if the VP9 situation changed for the worse since January, or if the article is simply misleading. It's hard to tell as the quotes in the article are mostly anectodal. [1] http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/02/googles-vp9-video-codec-get... |
