The future of codecs is at VideoLAN Dev Days '15

16 September 2015

VideoLAN Dev Days 15

Like the last few years, we are organizing the VideoLAN Dev Days, this week-end, in Paris.

The conference is nicely hosted by the French unicorn Criteo and sponsored by Google and Videolabs.

Last year was in Dublin:

New Codecs conferences

This year, we’ll have quite a few nice talks, focused on all the new and future of open and open source codecs!

In fact, we will have talks about VP10, Daala, Thor and x265.

Video codec Talks

Alex Converse, from Google, will speak about the future development of VP10.

Timothy Terriberry, from Mozilla, will speak about the ongoing development of Daala, and do an update compared to what he spoke about last year, at VDD14.

Thomas Davies, from Cisco, for his first time at VDD, will speak about the new codec named Thor.

Finally, Deepthi Nandakumar, from MCW, will speak about x265, the new implementation of the H.265 encoder, inspired by x264.

Clearly, the fight between the new generation codecs is just beginning! :D

Other talks

We will have talks about VLC 3.0, the speedup of the VP9 decoder in FFmpeg, a new AAC encoder for FFmpeg and the open source community, and a few other surprise talks!

Come and see us!

    Where can I learn about screencasting with VideoLAN?

    Kostya: I’m sure Cisco have this application in mind for Thor / AOM. A royalty-free format suitable for screen content would be a good first step towards FOSS meeting software.

    Will there be recordings for these talks??

    Nah, where’s the opensource replacement of e.g. GoToMeeting? There might be a standard soon for lossless video codec (FFV1) but no sensible screen capture codecs so far.

    Nice lineup - will the sessions be recorded for those who can’t make it?
