+AOMedia Video 1 (AV1) is an Open Source video codec desgined for
+video transmission over the Internet. AV1 is planned to surpass
+VP9 and also to eventually be a competitor with HEVC/H.265.
+
+This libaom SlackBuild builds two applications:
+
+ 1. aomenc: an AV1 encoder
+ 2. aomdec: an AV1 decoder
+
+As well as making libraries available for those who wish to build
+an AV1 encoder with a recent FFmpeg by specifying: '--enable-libaom'
+in the FFmpeg ./configure string.
