vidinius
Vidinius is a proposed open standard and ecosystem for video content delivery designed to improve efficiency, scalability, and user privacy in streaming applications. The project outlines a modular stack that covers encoding, transport, and client interfaces, with an emphasis on decentralized governance and opt-in telemetry.
Development began in the early 2020s by a loose network of researchers and open-source contributors. A formal
Vidinius defines a video encoding format called VVF (Vidinius Video Format) that supports scalable video coding.
Early pilots have been conducted in experimental networks, and several streaming platforms have tested Vidinius codecs
