About:
AOM is the reference implementation for the AV1 video codec, providing high-efficiency video compression for streaming and storage. It is widely used in major browsers and applications for next-generation video delivery. The library includes encoders, decoders, and analysis tools for optimizing video quality at various bitrates.
Key Features:
  • Reference implementation for AV1 codec
  • High compression efficiency for video streaming
  • Support for real-time and offline encoding
  • Optimized for CPU performance
  • Integration with FFmpeg and other multimedia tools
Use Cases:
  • Encoding high-quality video for web streaming
  • Video conferencing with efficient bandwidth usage
  • Archival of video content with reduced storage needs
Alternatives:
  • x264 – H.264 codec, lower compression efficiency than AV1 but faster encoding
  • x265 – H.265 codec, comparable compression but royalty concerns and slower than AOM in some cases
