I think the wording here is a little muddy.
One potential big upside is for streamers (or the streaming platform, depending who u ask) who seem to rely heavily on h.264. This should offer a good bump in both quality and performance, requiring less bandwidth for better video quality, once it's become widely adopted and mainstream, that is.
I've been using it for about a month now via nightly builds. My i7-6700 gets between 0.5 and 1.5 frames a second encoding AV1. Using my A750 I get up to roughly 390 depending on the quality and the source. I believe it's being limited by my CPU as explained below.
I can't speak to all your points, but I do know that the iGPU will be able to help with the source. From what I can tell from Handbrake's documentation and the support forums, not everything is run on (any) of the hardware accelerated encoding platforms, CPU is still involved for various tasks, primarily what seems to be something to do with the source of the encoding. It seems like it might be a scenario where a stronger iGPU might help, like in my case above where my A750 seems limited by my CPU as my CPU is _PEGGED_ at 100% for a large part of the process while my HWMonitor shows that my GPU is also sitting at 100% utilisation.
I'm encoding my entire DVD collection to files so that the family can access it from whichever computer in the house.
What 4K content do you have?
My apologies for the stupid question, but what is your source for the shows? Was there a BD release of them? Or is the source material all stream-quality?
Maybe a change in framerate is causing issues due to syncing audio and video? Setting the framerate to original would solve that. The quieter audio may be caused by not having every channel encoded, encoded to two channels only, or the playback software improperly handling the encoded channels.
It still has benefits to ender users who don't have AV1 decode. A source file in AV1 means a better looking transcode, for the users without the ability to decode AV1.
While "technically true", it doesn't make sense to generate AV1 files, send those to people, and then have them go through a very lengthy transcoding process.
I mean for for video services like Youtube, Twitch, etc.
Harddrives are pretty cheap. I wouldn't make these kinds of moves under the pretext of future proofing. The cases where it works out in your favor are minimal. What happens if AV1 dies like Betamax?
Even with the ubiquity of h.265, h.264 still exists. I expect that this will continue here. There are so many encoding options in general. It's one of the major reasons why Handbrake is a nightmare if you don't know anything about video.
That isn't the fault of h.265. If h.265 ceased to exist, that wouldn't prevent Rec.2020, Rec.2100, Dolby Vision, etc from existing. While talking about gammas is a separate topic, gammas are not encoding dependent.
The thing which should help AV1 a lot----is the licensing fees to implement it are substantially lower.
Right, this is the big driving factor, honestly.
Right, I agree for the most part. To me it seems that AV1 is perhaps the file format of choice for streaming services that want to maximize their bandwidth to those that can decode it. Where having multiple versions of the same video is viable and which gets sent can be controlled. (h.265, AV1, SDR and HDR flavors of both, etc).
This I have strong doubts about. ProRes is the standard in the video world precisely because it is only "lightly compressed" (IE: easy to decode even on a 10+ year old system), all-Intra, and doesn't suffer at all from generational loss. While it might come to phones (again, what with Google wanting to push the format), I find it really unlikely that any file that is getting encoded with the intention of editing it later would want to use this format, precisely because of the decoding overhead. While some would be okay with transcoding every file in their NLE of choice, it won't be what they will want to do or will be ideal. In other words like I said before: it would be a huge workflow problem. The video world for the most part is okay with big video files.
I'm sure pro-res and things like it, will be around for a long time, For the original recording.

Not in my country right now, unfortunately.
I think so. But then again, maybe the same applies to me. I am starting off with almost nothing in my personal movie and series library which I am now creating from my DVDs. But then again, I also had maybe 100GB of 1080p60 gameplay footage that I have converted from AMD's H264 to AV1 with a good size reduction, and 350GB of old training and conference videos with significant space savings.[/QUOTE]
Could this not also apply to just after H264 came out in... uh... looks at Wikipedia... geez, twenty years ago in a few hours.
Right. And it means that at least it will be another 5-6 years past that point for there to be around 80% adoption rate for people that have that processor or beyond. In third world countries adoption will take even longer.
It’s all relative. However if you only have personal data and not client data, drive requirements are generally minimal.
It’s all relative. You’re a fairly unique user at this point.
Back 20 years ago, formats were the Wild West. A big reason why h.264 and mp3 have survived for so long is precisely because they were the first major formats to have wide scale adoption. MP3 honesty should die, there are far better audio encoders now. But h.264 is still valuable as a lightly compressed acquisition format for consumer level cameras.
*High five * My duuuuuuuuuude!!!! I have a feeling that if one doesn't have one's own property, in the medium-term future one will regret it.
I feel so very loved. <3
:heart with the two hands sign thingy-majig that the kids are using nowadays:What do you mean by that please? Smaller? I can't tell the difference between the formats of MP3 and FLACC TBH, even when ripping from CDs.
Tough to say. Because of things like piracy (which I'm not saying I recommend), people will have access to whatever they want. If "property holders" don't make music/movies easily accessible via paid for methods, then illegal ones will propagate again. Spotify is more popular than Napster ever was due to making a wide range of music easily accessible via ads and reasonable subscriptions.
Lol.I feel so very loved. <3
There are better compression algorithms that preserve more of the original signal while having equal or better compression. AAC is better than MP3.
5 more hours to go here in California (PST), but it's getting close! Happy New Year to you!Edit: Also, Happy New Year!!!
it moved SUPER Quick to mkv after divx/xvid/avi, they almost died overnight(not literally). We all collectively gave sighs of relief when we could rely on just mkvs and VLC back in the mid - late 2ks
.mp4 held a fairly tight grip with retail devices. It took quite awhile for smart TVs, cameras, phones, Playstations, etc----to natively recognize .mkv containers. mkv2vob is specifically made to take .mkv and with one click; remux it for PS3. Chunking it out into 4GB files, if needed. And even transcoding audio and video, if needed.
