VVC decoder is available, but it's flagged as experimental, so you have to prefix `-strict experimental` before the VVC input `-i`.



Thanks Yes I meant officially. Was hoping the we could set stage for VVC little earlier. I know VVC is not popular on HN or literally anywhere on Internet but I do hope to see it moving forward instead of something like MPEG-5 EVC which is somewhat dead in the water.


I don't know that having so many codecs is a good thing unless they really add something. How does it compare to av1 (which I was under the impression is coming to be the natural successor of hevc, with hardware support)?


Comparing to AV1, VVC / H.266 is expected to offer 20-30% reduction in Bit-Rate with similar quality at similar level of computational complexity. And it is already deployed and used in real world in China and India. I believe Brazil are looking to use it as their next generation codec for broadcasting along with LCEVC.




VVC is marked as experimental as fuzzing continues on it.
