Current status?
If you ask me, these two trajectories of VP8/VP9 and H.264/H.265 bring nothing new to the table. They both take the same route: add some more processing tools that eat up more CPU and be able to crunch the video a bit better.
When the time comes for VP10 – I want it to be different.
If I were the Product Manager of VP10? Here's the things I'd ask for from my development team:
What is JavaScript important? Because it allows innovation to flourish, and ORBX is showing us the way already.
If we get this one right, then innovation can start happening in the codec level itself as well, and the building blocks we make can be used for other types of solutions – not only those I define as the Product Manager.
I want to take you back for a moment to one of the first interviews I did. The one with Serge Lachapelle, Group Product Manager at Google, where he answers my question about compelling services and demos he'd seen:
All the games, augmented reality and the gesture tracking have really surprised the whole team.
Think how people are going to surprise VP10 development team when they see what other uses, not in the initial list of use cases, people come up with.
The next generation of codecs after VP9 and H.265 should be JavaScript ones. Anything else will be too boring.
