AV1? that's a codec, right? I see in the preferences section for Piped. Is better than AVC (h.2640)?

Yes, AV1 is the next big deal. You can compress the hell out of the video and it still looks near original. I've re-encode some of my locally ripped movies for fun to see how it looks and it's really impressive.

I wonder if it's possible to re-encode from H.265/HEVC to AV1

[–] exscape@kbin.social 8 points 9 months ago

It's always possible to re-encode video; it's usually called transcoding. However, you lose a bit of quality every time you encode, so you might not gain much in the end. You can offset a bit of the quality loss by encoding at a higher bitrate/quality factor/etc than you otherwise would, but that of course takes up extra space.
