Description

aom is the reference implementation (encoder and decoder) of the AV1 video codec.
Homepage:https://aomedia.org
Source code: https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom/
Stable tarball (v1.0.0): https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom/+archive/d14c5bb4f336ef1842046089849dee4a301fbbf0.tar.gz

AV1 is currently the best open-source video codec available, and it also beats widespread patented codecs (i.e. HEVC/H.265). There is enough industry momentum (see members) that it should see widespread adoption, especially once hardware implementations are available. Including aom would let Solus users work with AV1 video.

Including aom would mostly resolve T7331 (ffmpeg would only need to be recompiled with --enable-libaom)

I can package this & update ffmpeg if approved.

Great, thank you!

What about dav1d, the AV1 decoder ? http://www.jbkempf.com/blog/post/2018/Introducing-dav1d

source code of dav1d is 1/10th of lines of code compared to libaom
its weight is 1/3rd of the binary size of libaom
1/4th of the memory usage of libaom

dav1d would also be a nice addition. Besides what you mentioned, it's much faster than aom's decoder. However, it can't encode video.
