dav1d is a free and open-source software library and a command-line utility to decode video streams in the AV1 video coding format. It is developed by the VideoLAN and FFmpeg communities and sponsored by the Alliance for Open Media.[1] It is designed to be fast, small, cross-platform and multithreaded.[2]
dav1d is released under the BSD 2-clause "Simplified" License, a distinction from the Copyleft licensing favored by projects like FFmpeg and VideoLAN. This strategic choice of a more permissive license was made to encourage wider adoption of AV1. The decision to adopt a permissive license model for dav1d finds its roots in the Vorbis project, where similar licensing strategies were employed to promote adoption and prevent the entrenchment of proprietary formats.[3]
History
In October 2018, Ronald Bultje and Jean-Baptiste Kempf announced dav1d at the VideoLAN Developer Days 2018 conference.[4] The first usable version of dav1d, called 0.1.0 Gazelle, was released in December 2018.[5]
