AOM AV1 encoder/decoder in Debian needs update to enable AVIF saving

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/debian

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • rav1e

    The fastest and safest AV1 encoder.

  • This issue could additionally be solved by packaging rav1e, which libavif can use for encoding. Getting it included in Debian is a goal of the project: https://github.com/xiph/rav1e/issues/886

  • qt-avif-image-plugin

    Qt plug-in to allow Qt and KDE based applications to read/write AVIF images.

  • libavif supports building selected dependencies locally. I have a script which builds static libaom to be bundled into libavif together with libyuv. It was necessary to add -DCONFIG_PIC=1 https://github.com/novomesk/qt-avif-image-plugin/blob/master/ext/build_local_libaom_libavif.sh Does Debian allow bundled dependencies? Because that would be a possibility how to build feature complete libavif.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • cargo-c

    build and install C-compatible libraries

  • Beside rav1e there is need also for cargo-c, so that rav1e can provide C-compatible library.
