Part 1: What is VP9?

Some time ago, YouTube announced that it began promoting the VP9 video. What is VP9? VP9 is an open and royalty-free video coding format developed by Google. It is said that its compression rate is twice as high as that of H264 but its image quality is close to H265.

Compared to VP8, VP9 reduces the bit rate by 50% due to its highly effective compression algorithm, when they process the same 4K video. If the video is 720P, VP9 requires the bandwidth close to that of VP8. However, if the video reaches to 1080P, VP9 can reduce the bandwidth by 50% compared to VP8. Besides, with utilization of the special codec and asymmetric conversion techniques, VP9 processes the clear images as priority to offers more images than VP8, which is twice as clear as VP8.

Now, VP9 is well supported in the browsers because it outputs the well-quality videos and compresses the video effectively. For example, Firefox, Chrome and Opera support VP9.
