It's also better than H.265/HEVC. Plus, it's open-source and royalty free.

Sweet!

Better quality per file size than HEVC? cite?

I was curious, so I looked it up. AV1 is more efficient than HEVC by like 28%! On the downside, encoding is horrifically slooow. It'll be interesting to see how much hardware support AV1 gets in the coming years, because encoding time will have a dramatic effect on its adoption rate.

Interesting to note: AV1 can be played in Kodi, Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, VLC, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. So on the software side, it's pretty widely supported.

As long as your cpu/gpu can handle it

Playback has pretty wide support by now.

[-] kellyaster@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

Ah, yes, that's correct, thank you. Your cpu/gpu must support it, or it won't play.

That's the definition of every piece of software and media ever.

They didn’t say that. They just said it’s better, but didn’t mention their rationale. But IMHO opinion, it being FOSS makes it about a million times better than HEVC alone
