FFMpeg's ffvp8, the Fastest VP8 Decoder


Just after 3 weeks of Link Removed due to 404 Error, the FFMpeg team still impressing us but this time with a new benchmark of their own vp8 decoder. The new ffvp8 decoder written independently using pre-existent FFMpeg code-base iLink Removed - Invalid URL than Google's official codec specially on 64bit machines.

The developers stress that work on ffvp8 isn't done, and they have lots of optimization work to do, such as on the Atom, which they haven't even begun, along with PPC and ARM optimizations.

This is an awful lot of good work being done by volunteer developers. If Google is serious about supporting VP8, they should give some serious thought to putting these guys on the payroll.
