I am honestly not sure what codecs Opus will "never replace", other than maybe lossless codecs, codecs that run at bitrates too low to have practical uses on the Internet, and future codecs that have not been invented yet. In addition, I think spending effort on the high latency case is not nearly as high a toll as you think. Pretty much the only bitstream feature that is needed for high latency support is bi-predicted frames. And Thor already has these. _______________________________________________ video-codec mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/video-codec
