| Abstract: |
The article discusses the use of third-party commercial codecs in streaming platforms and video services, contrasting them with open source codecs like x264, x265, SVT-AV1, libaom, and libvp9. While open source codecs are free and widely used, some companies opt for commercial codecs for better compression efficiency, faster encoding, optimized performance, and enterprise support. The article explores the factors influencing companies' decisions to move beyond open source options, highlighting the benefits and pricing structures of commercial codecs like those offered by MainConcept, Beamr, and Visionular.
