DAV1D
Fast, small AV1 video decoder from VideoLAN
BSD-2-Clause
ABOUT
AV1 saves bandwidth but decoding it is expensive on CPU. Heavy encoder SDKs are the wrong tool for playback. dav1d is a focused decoder so players, browsers, and FFmpeg builds play AV1 without shipping a full encoding stack.
INSTALL
brew install dav1dINTEGRATION GUIDE
1. Decode AV1 in a media player or browser with a small library
2. Link dav1d from FFmpeg for faster AV1 playback
3. Ship 4K or HDR AV1 streams without a proprietary decoder
4. Benchmark AV1 decode on desktop, mobile, or embedded CPUs
