But they just can&rsquo;t seem to settle on one media codec and universally support it.<br \/>\nThink of Safari and YouTube, for instance. You can&rsquo;t stream YouTube videos in 4K resolution on Safari, because Apple&rsquo;s  browser does not support Google&rsquo;s VP9. And Google does not support HEVC for 4K videos on YouTube.<br \/>\nAV1 is supposed to be the savior media codec that gets universal support. It&rsquo;s royalty-free and it works atop of open-source dav1d decoder that has been built by VideoLAN,  best known for its widely popular media player VLC and FFmpeg communities. It is sponsored by the Alliance for Open Media.<br \/>\nWho are the members of Alliance for Open Media?  Nearly all the big guys: Apple, Google, Amazon, Netflix, Nvidia, ARM, Facebook, Microsoft,  Mozilla, Samsung and Tencent, among others.<br \/>\nBut that&rsquo;s not to say there aren&rsquo;t roadblocks in the adoption of AV1. Compared to HEVC &mdash; the format that AV1 is supposed to replace in popularity &mdash; encoding in AV1 was noticeably slower a year ago, as per some benchmark tests.<br \/>\nAdoption of AV1 by various browsers, according to analytics firm StatCounter. Safari is yet to support it.<br \/>\nNetflix&rsquo;s announcement suggests that things have improved. The streaming giant said its goal is to support AV1 on all of its platforms. &ldquo;In the spirit of making AV1 widely available, we are sponsoring an open-source effort to optimize 10-bit performance further and make these gains available to all,&rdquo; it said in a blog post.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/guce.techcrunch.com\/consent?brandType=nonEU&#038;done=https%3A%2F%2Ftechcrunch%2Ecom%2F2020%2F02%2F06%2Fnetflix%2Dav1%2Dandroid%2F&#038;gcrumb=fgOx3bg=\">Netflix begins streaming in AV1 on Android<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix announced this week that it has started to stream titles in AV1 on Android in what could significantly help the two-year-old media codec gain wider adoption.
