hi there! @zhenjie1999

love ... AV1

why love AV1 more or less than other codecs?
do the frames look different?

The point of our Codec features is:

unless owning a GPU, that is built for AV1 already, then you need not use AV1 for any video,
because "software rending" takes muuch more work ( =speed = electricity and heat). So you could always block AV1

will be happy about any answers here or there too!
(closing an issue is just to accelerate our work. Expecting anybody who reads one thread to notice both)

....

( in fact they might, but then you would examine them closely read about the difference n the codecs)

unless owning a GPU, that is built for AV1 already, then you need not use AV1 for any video

so it's really puzzling why youtube wont consider your GPU but push the new codecs early (when CPU rendering is always muuch slower) ( - imaginable that they are proud of the new codecs, but i guess that would usually not make the decision :D )
