If MPEGLA pull their heads out of their arses and makes the codec as cheap to use as MPEG2
The problem is that it's not just the MPEG LA. It's HEVC Advance, it's Velos Media, and it's individual companies that aren't in any patent pool. There's a reason why Leonardo Chiariglione calls HEVC an unusable modern standard.
AV1 will almost certainly be as dead in the water as Theora was

It aligns with my mission to improve the reliability and quality of software everywhere by teaching programmers how to make more reliable software.
Tell me about it. Choosing better programming languages to start with is one of the most important steps to improving reliability and quality. It's amazing how much people want to stick with "what they know", even when what they know isn't borne out by the practical realities.
What I find disappointing is that even when you demonstrate that the same result can be delivered in less time with higher performance in languages like Pascal or Rust, C programmers still try to justify the use of C based on articles of faith, camp fire stories, and straight up mythology. It's intellectually dishonest.
Luckily, some C programmers are starting to see the light. We'll get there eventually.
Oh no. These crazed C cultists have captured you as well. Fortunately, you need suffer no longer. Pascal's out there for you, man. Pascal believes in you. But you've got to believe in you first.
So.. your lame attempt at an insult failed and now you're trying another one?
I think you're suffering from a kind of Stockholm syndrome. C has mistreated you for so long that you've come to identify with it. C has taken so much of your self-respect that your only outlet is these pathetic rants on internet forums and you can't see that there's something better out there. Worse, C has made you believe that you don't deserve something better. This is sadly typical of all abusive relationships.
But have hope. There is something better. It's called Pascal.
Stack or heap. It depends on the string type you use.
What happens to the strings when the function reaches the end of it's scope?
Strings are reference counted in Pascal. You can dispose of them ahead of time or allow them to fall out of scope. The scope depends on the declaration, not the function. Like I say, you should learn some other languages.
Ugh, programmer machismo is truly pathetic. It's a sure sign of an amateur. You've got a lot of growing up to do, Zero__Kelvin. Don't spend the rest of your life this developmentally stunted.
This is just getting sad now. I can appreciate you're desperate to defend C in an effort to make yourself feel better but you really should learn some other languages. Strings are intrinsic to Pascal. It's one of the reasons it's better than C.
It is the same thing. It's an advantage of Pascal over C, that strings are intrinsic to the language. You really should spend some time learning more languages. Broaden your horizons, my son.
And yet you have nothing to offer. It's amusing watching C advocates flail about, posting syntactically incorrect C code and disagreeing with each other on how to do something as trivial as copy one string to another.
That's right. Some things, for example, are Pascal programs, which is a better option than C. You should take the time to learn some Pascal. You'll come around to the same opinion.
Slashdot Mirror
And again AV1 only has the backing due to the licensing issues.
No, it has the backing because it has better licensing and better quality at the same bitrate (or the same quality at a lower bitrate) than HEVC.
Netflix: I have a great idea,
The great idea is that Netflix accounts for 15% of downloads globally, so AV1's bitrate savings over HEVC are needed.
pretend to not be capable of VP8
I think you mean VP9. If you really are only blocking VP8 then you're probably using VP9 a lot without even realizing it.
It's amazing how well people use the unusable.
There's no value in the HEVC tax any longer. AV1 is the future. Might as well get on board.

Theora never had the backing AV1 has. Theora wasn't on the roadmap for YouTube and Netflix.
You can view the source for libaom, which is the reference encoder and decoder. And FFmpeg 4.0 (which incorporates libaom) has been released.

They don't even have one.
Here's one.
Actual Jaguar UK link.
Announced, not shipping, not available in any way for any amount of money.
The I-PACE is available now. You can see pricing on the Jaguar USA and Jaguar UK sites, for example. You should book a test drive.
Isn't every car manufacturer, and every would be "entrepreneur" out there building their own electric car?
Yes. Jaguar and Mercedes are both bringing out electric cars, for instance. The Jaguar I-PACE looks to be a better car than the equivalent Tesla.
because we loved it
Oh no. These crazed C cultists have captured you as well. Fortunately, you need suffer no longer. Pascal's out there for you, man. Pascal believes in you. But you've got to believe in you first.
Like I say, nothing to offer. It's sad that C has made you this way. You really should try Pascal. It'll improve you.

Hang in there, kid.
That's not what Happened
Sure, kid. It's always Someone Else's Fault.
That would be guys like me.
Good god, I hope not. Spend some time learning Pascal. Like I say, you'll come around.

It's funny the number of typos committed by C advocates. All these mistakes demonstrate the value of a language like Pascal over C.
1) Where in memory do these strings reside?
Stack or heap. It depends on the string type you use.
What happens to the strings when the function reaches the end of it's scope?
Strings are reference counted in Pascal. You can dispose of them ahead of time or allow them to fall out of scope. The scope depends on the declaration, not the function. Like I say, you should learn some other languages.

Nope, just not myopic.

Wow, C appears to make you hate fueled. Maybe you should try another language, guy. It might be better for mental health.
I learned Pascal 15 years ago.
Dude, you didn't know how to copy one string to another in Pascal. You didn't learn it.
And yet you have nothing to offer. It's amusing watching C advocates flail about, posting syntactically incorrect C code and disagreeing with each other on how to do something as trivial as copy one string to another.
You really have no clue, do you. Sad to see, dude.
Not everything is a shell script.
That's right. Some things, for example, are Pascal programs, which is a better option than C. You should take the time to learn some Pascal. You'll come around to the same opinion.
