I have compiled with both aom 3.8 and aom 3.6 patches without errors.
The rendering test results are:
aom 3.4: 34 fps
aom 3.6: 39 fps
aom 3.8: 48 fps
The speed increase is noticeable.
The videos result visually of the same quality. aom 3.4 and 3.6 give
files of equal size while aom 3.8 gives a slightly smaller file.
Thanks. So, according to this upgrade to 3.8 is more desirable than just to 3.6. Not sure if keeping both versions (one perfixed with _ underscore) in src actually good idea size-wide? Hopefully if ppl can get cingg from internet for self-build they also can get libaom and flip the switch in
configure.ac ? So may be just keeping prefixed patches for both versions and having line in BUILDING explainin
configure.ac edit (well, we do not have BUILDING yet as txt file in our root, but hopefully this can be fixed easily by copypasting manual section on this ?)
well, then if you have libaom 3.8 system-wide may be you should try to disable internal libaom and build with system version?
look at bld/termux.bld script for example ....
I also have idea about integrating libsvtav1 but keep it disabled by default (due to high cmake requrements)
