Last month the Alliance for Open Media “AOMedia” began teasing that the AV2 video codec will release later this year. They have now sent us word that later this month will be a virtual event talking more about this successor to AV1.
On 20 October will be a virtual event/webinar focused on AV2. The talk will provide a first-look at the AV2 codec, AOMedia’s open approach to its efforts, and their other related efforts. This AV2 talk will feature representatives from Google, Meta, and Netflix as well.
Those interested in learning more about the upcoming AV2 royalty-free, open-source video codec can do so via the AOMedia.org webinar. The live event is taking place from 7PM to 9PM PST on 20 October.
