They didn’t say that. They just said it’s better, but didn’t mention their rationale. But IMHO opinion, it being FOSS makes it about a million times better than HEVC alone
I was curious, so I looked it up. AV1 is more efficient than HEVC by like 28%! On the downside, encoding is horrifically slooow. It’ll be interesting to see how much hardware support AV1 gets in the coming years, because encoding time will have a dramatic effect on its adoption rate.
Interesting to note: AV1 can be played in Kodi, Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, VLC, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. So on the software side, it’s pretty widely supported.
It’s also better than H.265/HEVC. Plus, it’s open-source and royalty free.
Sweet!
Better quality per file size than HEVC? cite?
not sure, but I saw this 1h45 min 1080p movie for a bit over 1GB and the quality is impressive for the file size:

As long as your cpu/gpu can handle it
Ah, yes, that’s correct, thank you. Your cpu/gpu must support it, or it won’t play.
