Lots of people shitting on Microsoft on this thread ignoring that it's not Microsoft who charge for a codec and that Microsoft promote a royalty-free HEVC competitor called AV1.
Guaranteed this video file is from an Apple device, where patent-encumbered HEVC is the default recording format.
Google Pixel also record in HEVC. The problem with AV1 is that unlike HEVC it wasn't made to be easily encoded in hardware. Which is probably also the fault of patents, but still...
Wouldn't it be the chipset vendors who would implement AV1 (or any other codec) in hardware?
Yes, and there are some implementations now, but it's more complicated than for HEVC and also less efficient (I think)
