Hardly anything in tech aged better than H.264.

The H.264 video format, also known as AVC (Advanced Video Coding), was made in the 2000s, is still widely in use in the 2020s, and only slowly being usurped by H.265, which was made in 2013.

.mov 1991 and was used for mpeg-4 iso standard 10 years later just because apple wanted people to play videos without codec problems,

cups 1997 apple purchased code and pushed to opensource so people can print over network without problems

webkit 1998 apple open sourced so we can browse internet, forked by google

if not apple we’ll be living in caves walking around with divix, internet explorer, wmv and xerox and no I’m not apple fanboy

also h264 was not opensource until 2013 cause you need to pay patent fees to cisco

and they opensourced it in 2013 cause of google effort put to vp8, vp9

fuck cisco scumbags

@vane Indeed, one needs to give credit where credit is due.

Obviously it's gonna age well when it's one of the few códecs that is almost universally implemented by hardware in well, pretty much every hardware, from GPUs to SoCs.
