VideoLAN Publishes Dav2d For Open-Source AV2 Decoder
Summary
VideoLAN has published dav2d, an open-source AV2 decoder derived from dav1d. The CPU-based decoder is cross-platform, aimed at correctness and performance, with code published on VideoLAN's GitLab and ongoing work to finalize a C API and platform ports, plus performance optimizations for AVX2, ARM, and RISC-V. AOMedia's AV2 specification remains in draft, and this release signals momentum toward broader AV2 adoption.
