I just need AV2 to not blow chunks on VR/Streaming.
AV1 is currently hamstrung by decode compute costs, I’m sending 6K video @ 120 FPS and at 200 Mbits (25 MB/s) it looks like pea soup.
At 400-500 Mbps (62.5 MB/s), you have twice as much network overhead but somehow H.264 still decodes faster even though it’s twice as much raw data per second.
For straight up video file compression, AV1 seems to be absolutely unmatched if you use “peak framerate” (say 120) and then VFQ / variable quality set to like 35.
I was able to convert a 900 MB (!!) H264 video of VR gameplay (6K across, 3K/eye!) into 96 MB, and slide right under Discord’s idiotic 100 MB limit.
