Comment Re:Essential Features.. alpha support, lossless. (Score 1) 86
From the Daala wiki:
Basic features
YUV 4:4:4, 4:2:2 , 4:2:0 subsamplings, 8-bit, 10bit.
Alpha channel — need testing material!
8-bit RGB compatible mode? (e.g. YCoCg, internally or at least flagging for it)
Efficient 3D? — need testing material!
Lossless?
The value of this is disputable. If nothing else it's arguable that stuffing lossless into a lossy format may be the only way to get lossless into many people's hands. Also, see below
Good support for decode side droppable frames?
Hopefully the referencing structure will be flexible enough to enable this even if it's not an intentional feature.
