I am a member in the group for development of AV1.
The reason it has taken so long to adopt is because it was only in the last two years that the codec was stabilized to an acceptable enough degree for mass deployment.
By the end of 2025 most major platforms should have it fully or partially adopted.

Another massive benefit over H.264 that AV1 has is the ability to encode HDR footage that is tone-mapped for SDR playback as well. Nvidia recently pushed an update for Shadowplay enabling AV1 and now I’m able to play games in HDR and still clip footage for my friends without it looking like a washed out mess on their screens. When it gets added to Twitch and Discord allows it in their streaming pipeline AV1 is absolutely the future.

Dude, I love staring at pixels in the vague shape of Warframe

I find it hilarious that the MPEG group dropped the ball so hard on HEVC that AV1 was able to slide in mostly unopposed.

AV1 is also recommended by Valve to improve Steam Deck compatibility for in-game video files.

TIL: AV1 is open source. This does put a smile on my face.

I got a $100 arc GPU just for hardware encoding AV1, still use my 3080ti as primary GPU. (Also you can do CPU encode/decode for AV1 it just takes longer).

It seems optimistic to assume that Twitch will retain the current bitrate ceiling so we all get better quality, rather than saving money by reducing the bitrate to offer the same quality at less bandwidth. But hopefully that's how it will turn out, because oh boy does Twitch quality tank whenever there's a lot going on on screen.

AV-1 decoder are implemented in CPUs since
Intel 11th generation and newer.
AMD Ryzen 6000 or newer.

In terms of media storage, I use AV1 10-Bit. For my Blu-ray movies that I back up, I can take a 36GB raw rip and bring it down, with next to no quality loss, combined with 640kbs OPUS audio for surround (128kbs per channel), 2-3gb, while for equiviant quality for other codecs would be 4-5gb in h.264 or 3-4gb in h.265.

Downside is AV1 decode is computationally more demanding then h264/h265 if the machine that's doing the decoding doesn't have the dedicated hardware, like my 4k Chromecast w/ Android TV dongle (yeah, I have a dumb TV), meaning I have to set up transcoding back down to h264 on my TrueNAS scale server running Jellyfin. Lukily, I grabed a $50 Intel ARC gpu and its a low power video encoding BEAST.

I seriously hope that the new 'set-top' streaming box that Google is releasing soon has dedicated AV1 decoding hardware.

I knew that AV1 was a more efficient codec, but I didn't know that it was open source. That's awesome o: If I ever stream again then my 4090 will be outputting only the best quality for my 0 viewers c:

The AMD RX 7xxx series can also do AV1 encoding. Allows you to do it more on a budget/with better game compatibility.

I like how Thor just smack all his Pants tumbnail with Chad Thor face 😂

[waltstag]

I got a cheap intel gpu about a year ago to encode youtube streams. The quality at the same bitrate was noticibly better, i dont get any interference with streaming on my gaming GPU. I used to have intel driver issues with fan speed making it super loud but it got patched at some point. 10/10 now.

Thor, just wanted to reach out to you because I was super excited today and thought you should know, as the "OP" so to speak. A coworker asked me today about my input on mounting a sensor, and my first instinct was to pull up MS Paint, and I quickly drew up a rough sketch of what he had and what I thought he needed, and he not only fully understood, but was smiling seeing the idea be created right before him, as was myself. Thank you for this huge tip for presenting and teaching, and I am super excited to use it again. Love ya, bro ❤❤ keep doing what you do.

I've been waiting for AV1 for a while now, can't wait for it to be widely available. So cool to see people solving problems that we've all just accepted.

[starship]

I didn't even realize I could have been using AV1. That's pretty awesome to learn since I'm just starting to learn about video editing. Another awesome lesson from Thor

[KingslayerSenpai]

Apparently using one of lowend Intel Arc cards a secondary GPU in your system is a price efficient way to get access to AV1

[jonathansmith]

The fact you said it’s gonna be “Mint” makes me smile!! Proppa manc word ❤ haha love it!

[HeyyItsNick]

I have been waiting for AV1 for years.
