@fvsch@hachyderm.io @wbrowar@hachyderm.io @nhoizey@mamot.fr there will be more codecs, and it will be worth it to wait. AVIF is just too good to justify JXL right now, and the general-purposeness is not what holds JXL back, it is a bad set of coding tools. JXL almost included AVIF as its lossy component, but rejected the proposal.

@gianni@disobey.net @wbrowar@hachyderm.io @nhoizey@mamot.fr Which upcoming new-generation codec is an ISO standard (ISO/IEC 18181-1:2024) and included in other relevant ISO standards (ISO/IEC 12234-4:2026), with some traction in graphics software and operating systems? “Just wait a bit longer” is not a compelling argument if we can’t quantify what “longer” means and what the benefits of the extra time would be.
