This is really awesome, and professionally done and presented. Keep up the great work.

[alexmay]

I really appreciate the work you've done!

[Handler]

thank you for a great video! AV1 is the king

[johancordoba]

Hello, how are you? I have a question. So, you recorded everything with Nvidia Shadowplay, but my question is, did you export each video in a different format

[erkanesen]

please make a video showing us how to record and upload videos to youtube in the best quality <3

[scyhte]

So, AV1 seems to be the way to go for recording and encoding while playing, right?

[BeatmasterAC]

the only problem i have when recording Videos with AV1 Codec: it doesn't create Thumbnails. They have just that VLC Symbol.
When i record it in NVENC the thumbnails are there.

[erkanesen]

Hello, how do you manage to upload your 1080p60 fps videos with vp9 codec

[PanzerSteinn]

hello bro

i should export the video using AV1 or H.264 for better quality ??

[nicksterba]

Can you make a video that talks about the difference between hardware encoding and software encoding? From what I understand other YouTubers to say, is that hardware encoding is much better at high biterates and tends to not looks as good at say, 15-20 mbps or less. Whereas software encoding is the opposite, and is better suited for lower bitrates getting a more accurate image. Software encoding isn't necessarily bad at higher bitrates, but is just far less effective in terms of export times compared to hardware encoding.

Could you do some tests to see how true this is?

[scottiebumich]

AV1 is of course better, but is this compressed at the same bitrate?

[A]

Even VP9 or H.265 are good anough, but not supported by Microsoft RDP.

[christian]

The compression seems to have been done by the GPU and not by the CPU, you should use some Staxrip type encoder in slow or superslow to obtain the best quality with those bitrates. It is just a tip. Maybe there you can see the real difference in the compression capabilities of each format.

[flagshipbowtie]

dum6azz explain to me why you use H264 fastest stream preset for comparison? Nobody uses that for recording and it's more ridiclous to use it for comparison

[badracherki]

I don't see the difference between Hevc and av1
