It’s not every day a video codec wins an Emmy. But yesterday, the Television Academy honored the AV1 specification with a Technology & Engineering Emmy Award, recognizing its impact on how the world delivers video content.

Hopefully they will fix the encode speed with AV2. You need a super computer to encode AV1 in a reasonable amount of time. H.265 is significantly faster for a similar quality.

I mean, you generally decode an asset several magnitudes more often than encoding it, and decoding basically must happen real-time, while encoding can most often happen ahead-of-time. Having encodes be a bit on the slower side if it gains you higher compression is arguably worth it.

If you’re counting in terms of viewer hours, then sure. However, given the rise of Twitch-style live broadcasts, I think the picture would be noticeably different if you count programming hours instead.

No, but I don’t want to wait a day or more for a movie to encode either.

It sucks on CPU, but for GPU encode even cheapest Intel Arc cards can chew through it with no problem.
