    I’m using a 15 year old i5 and a GTX 970, having no issues with AV1 video. Curious what hardware you’re running.

      Neither of those things support AV1 encoding or decoding. Curious how you’ve come to believe you’re having “no issues” with a codec your hardware has no support for.

        You don’t need HW acceleration to playback AV1. Maybe they watch most of their content at 720p and are software decoding and it’s been good enough.

          Yeah you’re going to need HW acceleration to encode AV1 on your server “without issues”.

          Theres a world of difference between something that’s technically possible and something that will just work without issues of any kind. Something being “good enough” implies the existence of caveats. Mainly being that’d be a shitty experience lol.

      I doubt that it’s doing real time transcoding in av1, probably just sending the file “as-is” to your client device and you’re noticing as modern networks allow real time streaming of files with that size

      My server with much newer components does like 5 fps in encoding av1

        were you trying the default av1 encoder in ffmpeg? that one is unoptimized try libsvtav1 I get hundreds of fps, albeit on a 9800x3d

          just the default encoder. I tried it only once and when I saw the FPS I gave up almost immediately
