Add support for the AV1 video codec #344

Open vladimir-kazakov opened 5 years ago

vladimir-kazakov commented 5 years ago

AV1 (spec) is becoming more and more popular, thanks to a good support by the industry. Quite a lot of content providers announce their plans to use AV1 in the near future, but there is a problem. The latest released DASH-IF IOP (currently 4.3) doesn't mention anything except H.264 and H.265 (chapter 6), and the latest preview version explicitly disallows anything except H.264 and H.265. This may become an obstacle in the AV1 adoption.

Because of that, I'd like to request the support for AV1 in DASH-IF IOP.

I think that AV1 is already mature enough to be supported by DASH-IF IOP, because it has everything that is needed for that. It can be stored in ISOBMFF (spec), which also make it possible to use it together with CENC for content protection (some popular packagers, like MP4box, already support creation of such content).

Please submit a work item to DASH-IF

Could you explain what is a work item, how to submit it to DASH-IF, and why this GitHub issue is not enough?
