AV! is officially shit.
We will be using H264 for at least 8 more years before it goes the way of H263.
I'll leave it here.
>literally 1% improvement
you could say the same about x265 vs x264
Except neither of them have the problems of AV1.
x265 had terrible encode speeds when it was released too, and everything that wasn't a desktop struggled to decode it. also, to this day it only is barely better than a 10-year-old codec while taking at least twice the encode time lmao.
>and everything that wasn't a desktop struggled to decode it
that's literally a feature
Look at the bitrate needed to achieve the same VMAF rating.
the point isn't 1-2% better "quality" at a given size, it's that the same metric results can be generated with 30-50% less data size, assuming 9 gorillion times more compute time is thrown at it at least.
