    You shut your dirty whore mouth! Dolby has done some amazing things for the world of music and cinema!

    While I am a big cinema and tech guy, I don’t exactly know what goes into the AV1 codec of the top of my head, nor have I read the article yet, but I can bet they’re not 100%in the wrong.

      Eh, early Dolby is where they made real progress.

      Modern Dolby is more about licensing than actually doing anything for the industry. Not limited to the codec discussion.
