NETVC is a new working group at the IETF to create a high quality and royalty-free video codec for the Internet. It follows the success of Opus, the audio codec standardized by the IETF as RFC 6716. The working group is receiving contributions from Xiph and Mozilla's Daala codec, as well as the new Thor codec contributed by Cisco.

The Alliance for Open Media is a brand new group formed to do the patent analysis necessary to achieve a royalty free codec. Its founding members represent some of the biggest names in online video, such as Netflix, Amazon, and YouTube, multiple browser vendors including Mozilla, Microsoft, and Google, and key technology providers like Cisco and Intel.

This talk will cover progress made in the last year in the development of Daala, as well as an overview of Thor and other contributions to the NETVC working group. It will also discuss the role of the Alliance and the importance of high quality video that anyone can use without complex and costly licensing.

Thomas Daede is a Video Codec Engineer at Mozilla.
