gollark: That might improve, but right now only a few things have hardware *de*code for it.
gollark: Anyway, given the total lack of AV1 hardware encoders regular people can buy, it isn't a very suitable replacement for H.264, which is the most common video codec basically everywhere.
gollark: (decode complexity suffers somewhat)
gollark: H.266 recently got standardized, which could be cool if they don't bee the licensing like with H.265, as it's faster to encode than AV1 but has greater bitrate savings.
gollark: However, it has about 10x worse encoding speed, and the encoders are not hugely production-ready, so use is basically limited to giant interweb companies.
