>AVM Video Codec Architecture (AV2): Andrey Norkin of Netflix discussed AV2’s recent results, highlighting its bitrate savings as compared to AV1. He also covered a suite of advanced tools improving prediction, transforms, filtering, and screen content coding.

https://youtu.be/Se8E_SUlU3w?si=pOfl1Lm2eBdz5gvk

Imagine paying for AV1 hardware when AV2 is about to replace it, kek!
>>
>>107058430
AV1 has now achieved 2 things:
Better compression than x264 slow
Faster encode speed than x264 slow

Also it achieves them at the exact same time which is batshit crazy when you think about it because all it really had to do was encode faster than x265.

Yup, it's ogre for x264. It was ogre for x265 since its inception due to dogshit slow encode times anyway.

AV1 has no hardware decoding on my computer and is therefore worthless to me. gonna keep on using h264 and h265
>>
>>107058572
The final specification was announced to be released by the end of this year. After that, it shouldn't take long for the first open source software encoders and decoders to be released, but it will take a while (years) for them to become optimized enough to be usable and make their way into commonly used applications (especially if you're not using bleeding edge releases).
>Where is my AV2 preset in Handbrake? Where is my AV2 preset in OBS? Where is my AV2 preset in Kdenlive?
Wait. It'll come, eventually.
>Can I use this in Loonix?
Not yet. Eventually, yes.
>Is this Open Sauce?
It's an open standard and there will be open source implementations (encoder, decoder).
>Can my AMD 6000 Work with it? Can my RTX 2000 series Work with it?
No. Hardware decoding and encoding will require new hardware.

AMD cards have a recurring bug that they have to keep fixing where if you use GPGPU work + hardware video decoding, the cards lock up. It was a big issue on the Terascale cards, it was an issue on Vegas, I didn't pay attention if GCN ever had it. RDNA should not have it.
>>
>>107061138
iirc lavfilters was able to use gpu shaders to assist with h265 decoding when proper hw-decoding wasn't widespread yet.
problem is it doesn't help that much.
>>
As someone who's messed with Video/audio compression since 2000 I gotta say I'm sick of the following shit:

Video encoders are never really done, they often contain major performance improvements and quality improvements for the first 1-2 years, for several years just obscure bugfixes that affected .001% of users. Then they fade into obscurity and there's 0 chance of any new bugs getting fixed or features added. The autists who owned that block disappear into the ether. New processor and extensions? 1% performance improvement. 6 years later? Oh hi I finally got around to optimizing that new extension... 14% improvement. The changelogs always gloss over stuff that clearly represented months of heavy work in high order mathematics, then list 3 bug fixes that an average high schooler CS student wouldn't have made.

Real time GPU assisted encoding is always like 1/3 the video quality you can manage with a proper double pass encoder. The only way around it is to crank up the bitrate to obscene levels. Which kinda kills the whole point of video compression in the storage context.

There's also NEVER a developer page explaining what each setting does and which ones to pay attention to with with X type of media.

Finally when the FUCK are video encoders going to support starting/stopping/resuming encoding as a standard feature?

h265 files are half the size when I run videos through both h264 and h265 encode. No difference in quality. I'm happy with it and it's well supported by newer devices.

>>107065207
software encoding/decoding can be done on any general purpose cpu, but is slow
hardware encoding/decoding can only be done on hardware that has a dedicated ASIC chip that's designed to take care of the task of encoding/decoding that codec specifically.
since modern codecs such as AV1 are very complex, decoding/encoding in software is either laggy or just uses a lot of power (not good for mobile devices running on battery)
so it's "just an upgrade" when it comes to software enc/dec" but you need new hardware in the case of hardware enc/dec, you cannot just reuse an av1 encoder for av2.
>>
>>107058430
see you in 10 years when they have the first-hw-accelerator decoder
>>
>>107065275
...that literally just uses the default encoder (x264), it's only an input option so it only applies to the decoding phase

>>
>>107065421
>You're not on the right trackers then.
All the top trackers ban AV1
Only public and shitty private ones allow AV1 because it is not an archival codec.
>>
>>107065439
>because it is not an archival codec
there's no reason why av1 couldn't be classified as an archival codec if h264/h265 is.
like, neither of these codecs is meant for archival, stuff like ffv1 is, so... ?
>inb4 they mean support for av1 could die out
that's very very unlikely to happen at this point, especially now that most new devices come with decoding and even encoding hardware for it, even a total failure like vp8 has still plenty of support, av1 will stay relevant for decades.
>>
>>107065462
>there's no reason why av1 couldn't be classified as an archival codec if h264/h265 is.
It is. AV1 is for streaming. h264/5 is for discs. Why don't you know this?

That's h264. x264 is totally free.
>>
>>107058430
There won't be a hardware decoder / encoder available for a good couple of years anyway so AV1 is not dead yet.
>>
>>107065358
It's okay, they still have h.265 and VVC (lmao, at how irrelevant VVC is though). They'll start crying as soon as the patents for h.265 expire and they've failed to come up with anything to compete with AV1 and AV2.
>>

>AV1 is not dead yet.
It was never a thing. Forced upon you by google to save money on their Youtube bandwidth. Nobody uses it for piracy, or anything else but Youtube and Twitch for low-bandwidth video.
>>
>>107065799
What do you mean? I see loads of AV1 encodings used for pirate media. Pirates are probably one of its biggest users because you can get really high quality encodes for less space.
>>

it's used only by a handful of pirates who obsess over the latest codecs.

Only thing that matters is decode speed.
For every time it’s encoded, it’s decoded a billion times (at least in Netflix and Youtube-like use-cases).
I think they’re retarded.

Nobody cares about your deprecated codec tho

No shit. You won't suddenly change all of those old encodes to be AV1 overnight. I see loads of AV1 encodes for new stuff though.

Why are you lying?
Encoding x264 is ten times faster here than AV1 slop.

Even the "better compression" is completely subjective, because AV1 has some inbuilt noise filter that makes everything soulless and destroys details. Think about youtube slop.

Can anyone comment on AV1 hardware decode on recent Apple hardware (think it started with the M3)?

Fundamentally no technology ever catches on until and unless Apple backs it. Has been the case for 30 years at least.
>>
>>107058490
a 9800x3d can do realtime 8K (30fps) encoding on software alone with SVT-AV1.
I usually do 1080p movies at speed 7 and a few other parameters that drop speed and get around 300+ fps. Just dedicate one core for speed 8 preset without parameters and you can do 30fps realtime streaming.

latest appleshit decodes and encodes av1 just fine. its heavily used for game streaming since 2020-2021 like snapdragon.

>>107058468
Doesnt matter when its a pain in the ass to decode
At least VP9 was faster than AVC to decode

AVX512 (what svt-av1 primarily uses) has a potential ~200% performance advantage over AVX2 (what x264 primarily uses).
