Encoder note 2 (nerd shit note 1 at the bottom): Studios:
Do you want pirates? Because pulling your content from
Netflix/other big collections back to your own shitty
streaming service because you're greedy, THAT is how you
get pirates! Every time I can't find a movie streaming,
it makes me glad I buy my media rather than pay a crap
streaming service.


About:
AV1 is a modern free format providing amazing quality
at lower bitrates than h.264/265.

For improving AV1 playback use the mpv video player and follow this guide:
[til we can get a guide setup here, just google "drastically improving av1 playback"
which should be a post on the r/AV1 subreddit]

If you still can't get it to play, try using VLC and a mid
to high end Android/iDevice from 2016 or beyond. And even
Chrome can play it if you rename the .mkv to .webm!

--------------------------------
















Lastly: As an attempt to spread and hopefully popularize AV1,
here's my encode command for this encode:

python av1an.py -i input.mkv -v " --cpu-used=3 --end-usage=q --cq-level=20 --threads=8 --bit-depth=10 --lag-in-frames=48 " -a " -an " -p 2 -s scenes.csv -log log --vmaf --vmaf_path "vmaf_v0.6.1.json" -ff " -vf crop=1920:800:0:140 " --vmaf_filter "crop=1920:800:0:140" --target_quality 96 -o output --chunk_method vs_lsmash --probing_rate 1

Encoder note: I probably should have used --denoise-noise-level=10
or so, but I've encoded this probably 15+ times to get it good
enough for me in AV1, so I'm tired of waiting for encodes to finish.
Normies should probably just use cpu-used=4 in most cases at best.
I use 3 for movies I really like. Same with probing_rate 1. It's a
bit excessive again unless you really like the movie, otherwise 2
is fine if the default is dipping the bitrate too low. Also
"Subtitles 2" is from a second source thanks to "SDC"
