"Set for a year-end release, AV2 is not only an upgrade to the widely adopted AV1 but also a foundational piece of AOMedia’s future tech stack.

AV2, a generation leap in open video coding and the answer to the world’s growing streaming demands, delivers significantly better compression performance than AV1. AV2 provides enhanced support for AR/VR applications, split-screen delivery of multiple programs, improved handling of screen content, and an ability to operate over a wider visual quality range. AV2 marks a milestone on the path to an open, innovative future of media experiences."

I’d be interested in more partial acceleration/offloading support.

As an example, the denoising AV1 does for grain synthesis is hard, but GPUs are really good at it. It would be awesome if they could offload that step to vulkan as an option.

Another would be better supported variable frame rate. But that’s a tall ask I guess.
