gollark: > Note: AV1 encoding is very slow in comparison to VP9 or H.264, and considered experimental at this stage. Hence the use of -strict experimental (or the alias -strict -2) is necessary.
gollark: Still horribly slow. But not AS horribly slow.
gollark: VP9 is basically as good but less horribly slow.
