I mean, unless you’ve got a hardware accelerator (which won’t be a thing before multiple years from AV2’s release, and possibly more due to its complexity), it will be measurably much worse than current codecs.
So AV2 in a homelab is grossly inappropriate as this seems like something more geared up for server farm status. Odds are most homelabs aren’t rocking that kinda hardware and there’s probably an energy consumption cost and hardware cost factor to measure against how much someone is really saving compared to just AV1 which a intel ARC card can handle. You’d probably have to be rocking a homelab with 100s of TB of stuff to even come close to maybe wanting to go to AV2 hardware and codec?
AV2, a generation leap in open video coding and the answer to the world’s growing streaming demands, delivers significantly better compression performance than AV1. AV2 provides enhanced support for AR/VR applications, split-screen delivery of multiple programs, improved handling of screen content, and an ability to operate over a wider visual quality range. AV2 marks a milestone on the path to an open, innovative future of media experiences.
yooo, this is so amazing!!
Can’t wait to tryout AV2, I’m not sure there’s an usable encoder yet but I am real excited!
FOSS & royalty free for the win 🔥
(I sound like an AI bot but I’m really just excited 🥲)

Ah but split screen delivery may mean plex content on an Apple Vision Pro or something VR related right?

How do you know you’re not an LLM? Can you prove it?
Ask them how many Rs are in strawberry.
Solipsism FTW.
