"Collabora clearly has a conflict of interest, as their Collabora Office products both benefit from, and compete with LibreOffice proper." But that was the point of TDF: being an umbrella for the community and the…
"...being removed from the TDF board" Not from the board, (implies board of directors), but from TDF membership (board of trustees). This essentially means you have no voting power and no benefits, but you're still free…
Well, that's almost how it work but of course without the waiting bits. The change would be added to LOExt namespace and would be written to the document and read on load. Then the change is proposed for inclusion into…
JXL has Guetzli lossless JPEG compressor integrated into the standard so it produces reversible and completely standard compliant JXL images that are 15-20% smaller size. Reversible in sense that you can still convert…
They ceased development on WebP2.. don't think they could've come up with anything better than AVIF or JXL already have anyway.
"Regarding your claim that Opus is better than HE-AAC, here's a "Quality vs Bitrate" chart from opus-codec.org, the home of Opus: https://opus-codec.org/static/comparison/quality.svg Note that AAC (presumably they mean…
xHE-AAC from 2016 (also known as USAC) yes. The older HE-AAC from 2003 and HE-AACv2 are not. Codecs have similar names, but they are different and released at different times.
Well RED is mostly suing for their RAW video compression patents, which are just dumb an should never be allowed to be passed in the first place (and AFAIK Nikon is currently battling to invalidate that). But this is…
Camera manufacturers are old spineless companies. In all those years they have done nothing for digital image formats and it is the most important thing in a camera. They weren't even able to come up or attempt to make…
and neither of your examples is experimental
Most RAW formats are based on TIFF... no standard TIFF decoder can decode a RAW format either.
DSLR market has pretty much stopped (rarely any new DSLR camera is released) as everyone shifted to mirrorless cameras. Camera manufacturers mostly added HEIF (Canon, Sony, Fuji) as the non-RAW image format, because…
In what way does Google control WebP? They have frozen the format and nothing will be added to it. WebP2 was abandoned. Google is also involved with JPEG XL - actually some developers that worked on WebP now work on…
No. VP8 and VP9 bitstreams are frozen and stayed frozen when they decided to freeze it (they made that sure with automatic tests in libvpx that calculated the bitstream checksum) otherwise old VP8/VP9 files would stop…
Apple probably held off adoption so that HEVC patent license situation improves a bit (at least most companies with patents join in some pool or start to offer licenses). If AV1 would be released sooner it wouldn't be…
