Just to add some context to the "very-very-very slow" part: using the fastest speed preset, v1.0.0 is 26x slower than v3.2.0. It also uses 3x the RAM. (tested on a 1080p video using a single thread to remove any multi-threading changes from the equation)
Not only that, but v1.0.0's fastest preset is incapable of producing files as efficiently compressed as v3.2.0's fastest preset, so the latest release even has an 11.5% compression efficiency improvement. v1.0.0 also doesn't have a real-time encoding mode, that was added in v2.0.0. Furthermore, the changelog (https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom/+/df61427b1bcf6f6beff7d1293895633929af6a76/CHANGELOG) states that v2.0.0 is the "First official release of libaom." How I interpret this is that v1.0.0 was an unoptimized reference codec release, akin to the reference software of other codecs (like the HM of HEVC and VTM for VVC), and v2.0.0 was the first libaom release intended for end-users. Personally, I consider v1.0.0 impractical for real use cases, and as such an update would be required to make any of the aom packages useful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1947695 Title: libaom update needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aom/+bug/1947695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
