codec

The Register reports that a set of codec updates is being delayed, drawing a joking parallel in its headline to flight delays. Beyond the pun, the article indicates that planned software releases for the codec are slipping behind schedule, which affects developers and companies relying on the updated formats for video compression work.

Valve released a Steam Client Beta on October 1st bringing a batch of improvements to Remote Play built around its Pyrowave video codec. The update aims to make game streaming between devices smoother and higher quality. The news circulated among gaming communities, where users track Steam beta changelogs closely for streaming and performance fixes.
