[mayconhvab]

Hello dear developers

New SVT-AV1 codec update and WavPack are available.

I would like you to update.

I'm using the SVT-AV1 codec from FFmpeg master from BtbN to play videos downloaded with yt-dlp and I don't want to miss any updates to VLC Media Player.

SVT-AV1 changes to 2.1.0: [2.1.0] - 2024-05-17
API updates

One config parameter added within the padding size. Config param structure size remains unchanged
Presets 6 and 12 are now pointing to presets 7 and 13 respectively due to the lack of spacing between the presets
Further preset shuffling is being discussed in #2152


encoder

Added variance boost support to improve visual quality for the tune vq mode
Improve the tradeoffs for the random access mode across presets:
Speedup of 12-40% presets M0, M3, M5 and M6 while maintaining similar quality levels
Improved the compression efficiency of presets M11-M13 by 1-2% (!2213)
Added ARM optimizations for functions with c_only equivalent

Cleanup Build and bug fixes and documentation

Use nasm as a default assembler and yasm as a fallback
Fix performance regression for systems with multiple processor groups
Enable building SvtAv1ApiTests and SvtAv1E2ETests for arm
Added variance boost documentation
Added a mailmap file to map duplicate git generated emails to the appropriate author

Thank you very much in advance.

Currently I noticed that the AV1 video codec has not yet been updated, I don't know if dav1d uses it, but I would like it to be used, or preferably the AV1 encoder in dav1d to reproduce this codec format.

Thanks.

VLC does not include SVT-AV1 nor WavPack, so there is nothing to update.
