  • Heyo Everyone! - is there a win or mac software to batch convert imgs to avif?
    3 projects | /r/AV1 | 6 May 2023
    shit i did not know that.. does it also work well with wordpress etc? because the only downfall of avif is bunch of extra steps on a nginx to get it to work right.. Also, u/LITUATUI 's comment, do i just change avif to jpeg-xl? i found something but didnt fully finish reading yet https://github.com/ImageMagick/jpeg-xl
  • FSF Slams Google over Dropping JPEG-XL in Chrome

    One of the most interesting things to me is that JPEG-XL is under an open Patent License, unlike the original JPEG.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XL

    Also, Google contributed quite a bit to it's development. As the patent grants show:

    https://github.com/ImageMagick/jpeg-xl/blob/main/PATENTS

    https://github.com/libjxl/libjxl/blob/main/PATENTS

    Microsoft seemed to have gotten a patent on part of it's implementation (which Google also tried to get). Not sure if Google will pay to invalidate that patent, but I have a feeling they are more likely to defend AVIF.

    https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/17/microsoft_ans_patent/

    Google's control is a little concerning, but I do feel there are bigger fish to fry then choosing between two free formats. Like H.264 and H.265 patents.
