AVIF support

Post by DrMed »

Hi

AVIF image support would be cool as this format is supported now by many Browsers(Chrome, Firefox) and should have no patent issues.

"Sisvel, a Luxembourg-based company, has formed a patent pool, and are selling a patent license for AV1. The pool was announced in early 2019,[157] but a list of claimed patents was first published on 10 March 2020.[158] This list contains over 1050 patents"

An interesting if not suspicious request to make for your 1st post here ... :shock:

+1 for adding this format or an include library or dll.

I may be wrong but I think this is available as open source code.

I have had a few schools requesting the ability to open this new image format. It has rapidly become common among book sellers displaying cover images online.
