AV1 is not patent-encumbered.

AV1 can be implemented with free software everywhere. No more leaning on H.264 where you are arbitrarily disallowed from using H.265, not to mention when you are also disallowed from using H.264!

AV1 will outperform H.265, even at low resolutions and framerates. That coupled with free software compatibility, and support from Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA means that it will have great hardware and software support everywhere.
