Next-gen video codecs and HDR formats in Android Multimedia
summary
Claims hardware APV support on Snapdragon Gen5 with an intra‑frame, royalty‑free codec that yields about 10% smaller files than ProRes, supports 8K and 10/12‑bit, and exposes a new video/APV mime type in Android 16 so apps can record, edit and play without transcoding. HDR workflows use HDR10+ per-frame metadata (and Dolby Vision via its MIME) with camera + encoder APIs; region‑of‑interest coding (standard since Android 15) uses region-of-interest QP maps to save bandwidth—example: a 2‑hour 4K clip drops from terabytes to ~5GB with modern codecs.
