"Enhanced AV1 Decoder Released for Android Devices"

Google has added a software-based AV1 decoder to most Android devices, allowing them to support AV1 without the need for hardware support. This update is available on devices running Android 12 or higher through a software update. The "dav1d" software decoder enables most devices to decode 720p at 30 frames per second, with apps needing to opt in to support AV1 via software decoding. YouTube has already opted in to use AV1 on compatible devices, potentially leading to increased power usage.

"Beamr and NVIDIA Collaborate to Boost AV1 Video Standard Adoption"

Beamr and NVIDIA are collaborating to present a solution for the slow adoption of the AV1 video format at the ACM Mile-High-Video 2024 conference. The joint research aims to automate the process of upgrading existing video libraries to AV1, addressing challenges such as high costs and complexity. By utilizing NVIDIA's hardware accelerated AV1 encoding, the proposed solution ensures performance equal to previous formats at the same cost, while maintaining video quality. This collaboration is part of Beamr's effort to facilitate the transition to AV1 adoption at scale, with plans to launch a new video cloud service on Amazon's AWS powered by NVIDIA.

"Twitch, NVIDIA, and OBS Collaborate for Enhanced Multi-Encode Livestreaming"

NVIDIA and Twitch are introducing Enhanced Broadcasting, powered by OBS, to improve video streaming quality and reduce latency, utilizing NVIDIA NVENC encoder for multi-encoded video streams on GeForce RTX and GTX GPUs. The collaboration aims to enable simultaneous streaming in up to three resolutions at a maximum of 1080p, with future plans for higher bit rates, 4K resolution, and support for up to four concurrent streams. The addition of AV1 support, a royalty-free codec, will require streaming hardware to support encoding in this format, but is expected to become more popular as modern GPUs and mobile SoCs continue to be updated with AV1 decoding.

AV1 Takes Center Stage: OBS, NVIDIA, and AMD Battle for Best Encoder.

OBS Studio 29.1 now supports AV1 stream encoding when broadcasting to YouTube, enabling higher-quality footage than H.264 at similar bitrates and higher resolutions. The new Enhanced RTMP standard and hardware encoding work with AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA GPUs, and software can be used if the CPU is powerful enough. YouTube still transcodes the output to its VP9 format, but the image quality loss is slight. The change hints at a future where creators can stream video that looks as good to viewers as it does on the host's PC.
