Thanks, I used the Halo video[0] to compare, a couple of notes. - Youtube seems to have limited the AV1 support to 1080p, 1440/2160p are not available, anyone any idea why? - The load on my CPU (MB Pro 2018 quad-core/ FF DE 67.0b9) seems about the same but I do seem to be dropping significantly less frames, not sure though.

They probably don't reencode 1440+p (there are 8K videos too) in AV1 as of yet.


it was probably encoded at a time when they didn't do 4k av1 tests but only 1080p, but since then they also did a 4k one if you wanna test it https://youtu.be/LXb3EKWsInQ
