Hello just making a poll, which one do you prefer? personally I prefer x265 but since the rarbg falldown i've seen that almost all 1080p rips are in x264, what do you think about that, and do you recommend any place to find more x265 content beside those in the megathread?
Where have you ever found AV1? I've literally never once seen it in the wild. It seems awesome though, I would definitely choose that over anything else
It really is awesome. Lots of leaps forward for AV1 recently. It encodes faster than x265 in some situations with so much space saved. It's still in the early stages, really, and the compression isn't perfect, but for video streaming purposes, I'll take it over x265 any day.
how is the support for AV1 on devices? can most play it back? does plex support it?
Dunno about Plex, but Jellyfin supports AV1 direct play just fine. Just not on Roku, which I mainly use it on. I'm a small-time contributor on the Roku version, though, and there's progress towards AV1 support, at least.
