AOMedia released a draft of the AV2 specification for open public review and announced that AV1 now accounts for 30% of Netflix's global streaming traffic and over 70% of Meta users' video consumption. Additionally, AOMedia detailed progress on its Polygonal Mesh Coding (PMC) standard for 3D volumetric content and the AVIF 1.2 image format, while also welcoming new members including Disney and MediaKind.
AV2 moving into public review signals that AOMedia’s next video codec is now far enough along for broader scrutiny, while AV1’s reported scale at Netflix and Meta shows the current standard is already entrenched in major streaming workflows. The broader stack is also expanding beyond delivery codecs: PMC targets 3D volumetric content, and AVIF 1.2 continues AOMedia’s push on web images. For the ecosystem, the key detail is that open standards remain central across video, images, and emerging 3D formats. Watch the AV2 public review period and any follow-on reference software updates.
