We are announcing the dav2d project: a small, fast and portable decoder for the new AV2 codec, the successor to AV1 and the latest royalty-free open video codec from the @a4omedia
code.videolan.org/videolan/d…
dav2d is the continuation of the work we started with dav1d, our AV1 decoder, and is developed by members of the VideoLAN community under the same BSD-style license.
Today, dav1d has reached 240kLoC of handwritten assembly. We will do the same for dav2d.
dav2d should already be feature-complete, supporting 8-bit and 10-bit decoding, with optimizations for x86 (AVX2) and ARM (AArch64 NEON).
It's not fast yet, but you can achieve 100fps with a fast machine :)

And we are now 2 years later, and guess what? The @Microsoft issue is still not solved…
Seeing the mess around Veracrypt, @WireGuardVPN and others lately, we feel their pain…
If you do wonder why we don't update VLC on the Windows Store or why VLC/iOS can't connect properly to OneDrive shares, it's because Microsoft Kafkaïesque bureaucracy refuses to help us.
We're only trying to contact someone since 2years...
Any day now...

Last weekend, Hypernex (with @realtigerbl0xed and @virtual7802) attended a gaming convention, where we hosted a virtual theater experience, demonstrating our upcoming Android support and @videolan unity. We had an amazing time and got to talk to many people about our game!

VLC : "Le cône qui lit des vidéos"
"Malgré ses millions d'utilisateurs actifs et sa forte présence sur les systèmes d'exploitation, VLC n'a pas assez d'argent pour employer un seul ingénieur"

If you donate, I will personally give you a tour of @neon_noir_paris and some @zml_ai mugs.
If you are not too far from France, and you are discarding old hardware, consider donating it to @videolan.
As you've seen, we did lately updates to VLC to fix support for Windows XP and macOS 10.7 (and iOS9).
Because you should not need to buy new hardware because of software.
