      I went all to AV1 last year. Enough stuff supports it, and realtime transcoding on a (relatively cheap) Arc GPU works well enough.

      AV1 is superior enough for both size and visual fidelity, that it’s worth the slightly extra encoding time. But absolutely not if you don’t have HW encoding.

        Yep HEVC can suck one. AV1 is the format everyone wanted, media formats shouldnt have any loyalties tied to them

      I would like to do this but I’m not confident I wouldn’t turn the quality to shit when doing the reencode.
