Comment Comment by lukevp For others like me who are curious and haven't heard of AV1, some main features:* Open & Royalty Free (no licensing required to use)* Backed by Mozilla, Google, Microsoft, Cisco, etc. [1]* Approximately 50% higher compression than x264 [1] and 30% higher than H.265 (HEVC) [2]* Supported in current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Edge [3]* Slower encoders than HEVC, so not typically used for live streaming [2][1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1[2]: https://www.theoplayer.com/blog/av1-hevc-comparative-look-vi...[3]: https://caniuse.com/#feat=av1 parent lukevp 6 years ago
