[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 6/6] avcodec: add vvdec H.266/VVC decoder

[Nuo Mi]

Hi Lynne & James,
Do not worry about the dav1d things that happened on vvcdec. It just a
reference code like libaom.
We will not have a useable native vvc decoder in 0.5~1 years. During this
time, the wrapper can help us build many things, like container demuxer,
hls/dash/rtsp network streaming...
How about we flag the decoder as experimental, and declare we will retire
it after the native codec is ready.

Hi Marton,
Fully agree with you, all codecs are created equal, only the market can
decide which one is the winner.

Regards.
