rav1e modern encoder AV1

  • By reading the features of the AV1 codec and its support on sites such as YouTube and Netflix. And I came across an article on how to use it through FFmpeg, but this is not the main thing. I came across a link to a new encoder under the name "rav1e", which, by assurance, is faster than the current one.

    I understand that in its current form it is not perfect. True, I would like to see in future builds.

    I compared AV1 with H.264 & the quality of AV1 is inferior to H.264!

  • I think AV1 is still too early, shoukd wait for it become mature and get more format supports (I'm not sure current state, at least wait for support in yuv4:4:4 4:2:2 and 4:2:0, and a bunch of instruction sets)

  • Perhaps, but VVC / H.266 is already on the horizon... yep, the introduction of AV1 is moving into a more active phase.

    Compression of H.266 is so much better, it must be revolutionary like H.264. AV1 quality is just like VP8/9 format, very blurry!
