no one wants to pay royalties to mpeg consortium

Hopefully they will fix the encode speed with AV2. You need a super computer to encode AV1 in a reasonable amount of time. H.265 is significantly faster for a similar quality.

No, but I don’t want to wait a day or more for a movie to encode either.

get a gpu that can encode av1

Isn’t that orders of magnitude more expensive than paying a royalty?

It sucks on CPU, but for GPU encode even cheapest Intel Arc cards can chew through it with no problem.

I mean, you generally decode an asset several magnitudes more often than encoding it, and decoding basically must happen real-time, while encoding can most often happen ahead-of-time. Having encodes be a bit on the slower side if it gains you higher compression is arguably worth it.

If you’re counting in terms of viewer hours, then sure. However, given the rise of Twitch-style live broadcasts, I think the picture would be noticeably different if you count programming hours instead.
