Youtube vp9

Google plans to finish defining its VP9 video codec on June 17, providing a date on which the company will be able to start using the next-generation compression technology in Chrome and on YouTube."Last week, we hosted over 100 guests at a summit meeting for VP9, the WebM Project's next-generation open video codec. We were particularly happy to welcome our friends from YouTube, who spoke about their plans to support VP9 once support lands in Chrome," Matt Frost, senior business product manager for the WebM Project, said in a blog post Friday.WebM is Google's project for freeing Web video from royalty constraints; the WebM technology at present combines VP8 with the Vorbis audio codec. Google unveiled WebM three years ago at the Google I/O show, but VP8 remains a relative rarity compared to today's dominant video codec, H.264. Because VP9 transmits video more efficiently than the current VP8 codec, the move will be a major milestone for Google and potential Web-video allies such as Mozilla that hope to see royalty-free video compression technology spread across the Web. However, even VP8 is still dogged by a patent-infringement concern from Nokia, and VP9 hasn't yet run the intellectual property gauntlet.Those using H.264 must pay patent royalties, and its successor, HEVC aka H.265, follows the same model.H.265 is more efficient than H.264, offering comparable video quality at half the number of bits per second, and Google and its allies hope to bring a similar performance boost going from the current VP8 codec to

Today, video content reigns supreme. From streaming movies and TV shows to attending virtual meetings, video is an integral part of our lives. To deliver this content seamlessly, efficient video compression is essential. Enter VP9, an open-source video codec that has revolutionized how we experience video.What is VP9 Codec?VP9 is an open-source video codec developed by Google after their acquisition of On2Technologies in Feb 2010. This was the second codec, after VP8, to be released, and it became available to the masses in June 2013. It's designed to deliver high-quality video at lower bit rates than other codecs. This makes it particularly efficient for streaming video over the internet. In terms of usage, the largest distributor of VP9-codec content was YouTube. Later, in 2016, Netflix, too, announced the use of VP9 for their platform. Since then, many new use cases have emerged where VP9 has proven to be a viable solution.

However, performance can vary depending on factors like content type, encoding parameters, and hardware capabilities.How does VP9 codec work? VP9's architecture consists of several key components:Frame Structure: The video is segmented into frames, which are then

Video, it’s much more challenging to recover the encoding cost. This is why YouTube encodes only the service’s most popular videos using the AV1 codec; the rest are delivered in H.264 and VP9.Figure 3. 3.3 million views in one day wasn’t enough to get this video encoded with AV1. You see this in Figure 3, a Super Bowl advertisement on YouTube that garnered over 3.6 million views in a day, but was encoded with VP9, not AV1. This Cardi B video had over 14 million views in a day but was also encoded in VP9, not AV1 (I couldn’t find a PG 13 frame in the Cardi B video so I went with Brady and Gronk). I was surprised that YouTube didn’t use AV1 for these videos, as I’ve seen much less popular videos encoded with AV1 in the past. That said, YouTube encodes relatively few videos with AV1 because the encoding costs are significant. Unless your typical video is viewed by seven-figure audiences, it may be difficult to recoup AV1’s encoding costs with bandwidth savings.Why do decoding requirements matter?Figure 4 shows the decoding speed and CPU requirements for VVenC, aomenc, x265, and x264, all without hardware acceleration on an HP ZBook Studio G3 notebook with an 8-core Intel Xeon E3-1505M CPU running Windows 10 on 32GB of RAM. You see that VVenC was much slower and consumed much more CPU at peak decode than the other codecs.If the notebook was running on battery, VVC playback would seriously degrade battery life, which is an obvious disincentive to use the codec. If this powerful notebook can only decode VVC at 37 fps, it’s doubtful that VVC will play at the full-frame rate on a mobile phone or tablet without special VVC-related decoding hardware, another disincentive.Figure 4. VVC decode testing was too slow for deployment without hardware acceleration. This means that VVC won’t be deployable on phones, tablets, smart TVs, and OTT devices unless and until VVC specific hardware decoding circuits are added to the device’s CPU, graphics processing unit (GPU), or system on a chip (SoC).
