@ezra personally I think #Apple should be forced.to implement #AV1 & #WebM and that @EUCommission could mandate #OpenStandards.
- As for quality, were it not for #patents and espechally #SoftwarePantents, we'd have way better #Codecs, but this way people engineering a #FLOSS #Codec are constantly required to specifically avoid infringement of Patents and other IP by not using anything remotely related to it...
Also if #H265 wasn't #patented and facing #PatentTrolls and #rentseekers we'd see way better quality there as well.
And yes, Apple (#MPEGLA-Member) is at the root of the problem!
