When choosing a video codec for your app, it's essential to consider factors like compression efficiency, encoding/decoding speed, and compatibility. AV1, VP9, and VP8 are all open-source, royalty-free codecs developed by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia), Google, and On2 Technologies (later acquired by Google), respectively. AV1 is the most recent and efficient codec, offering better compression than VP9 and VP8, but its encoding/decoding process is computationally intensive. VP9 is widely supported by modern browsers and devices, while VP8 is an older codec with broader compatibility but lower efficiency.
