Revision of Scalable Video Coding Extension for WebRTC

The proposed SVC Extension for WebRTC has been revised in order to reduce the complexity for developers wishing to support Scalable Video Coding.


The new proposal relies on the concept of "scalability modes" utilized in [AV1] as well as other SVC codecs.


The revised proposal is here:
