H.264 vs HEVC vs AV1- For Recording + Support, Editing & Uploading

AV1 was a gamechanger for me. I can reduce the size of footage in daylight by 50% without noticing a difference zoomed into the picture. And darker evening or night footage i can reduce the size by 70% to 80%. Its mindblowing. I have to use the CPU though, because the footage i work with has to be highest quality. I render at preset 4 and it takes hours but for me its worth it because the size of my archive is much smaller now.

bro im just and random person watching not a subscriber but i see that you did a hard work making this video with every details i really appreciate you and you deserve a subscribe

Вы кодировали на GeForce. Базовые настройки если почитать документацию, что для h264, что для h.265, что для AV1 одинаковые. Разница только в названии и шумоподавлении.

AV1 10bit looks really good

You were using DaVinci Resolve's free edition, right? That's why you see a lot of stuttering in AVC and HEVC, it's because the free version doesn't support hardware encoding and decoding for AVC (H.264) and HEVC (H.265), but supports it for AV1. That snappyness you saw on AV1 was manly because your graphics card was handling the decoding. With DaVinci Resolve Studio, every codec is supported for encoding and decoding, so you may see no difference between the codecs. Yeah, you said that later in the video, sorry! Hehehe nice content!

Thanks for this. Helps alot!

I came here to get a little low down on the H.264 versus 265 but hey. You have a lavalier microphone in your hand. What's the matter with this picture? Alligator clip spring, broken? Don't know how to affix it to your, hoodie, sweatshirt, T-shirt? I know it's really complicated.

And so you don't know how to use a lavalier microphone. But you are here to advise us on other technical secrets. But not knowing how to use a lavalier microphone? It's also called a tie tack, microphone. Or a lapel, microphone. And you, wear it. As in, wearing it. It has a little alligator clip you squeeze. I know it's really complicated.

And so how are we to take heed in your recommendations? When you don't know to, wear a lavalier/lapel/tie tack, microphone and have no clue? Why it won't screw onto a microphone stand? Yeah I know. Only professionals know how to do that. Thank goodness you are not one.

You look utterly stupid. I don't understand why you went so wrong? Stupid I guess?

Amazing work

Appreciate the breakdown. Very helpful as I start to record and save personal media to my server. File size has become more of an issue than I thought it would.

can you explain how to record in av1 ? or use handbreak to export on av1 ?

DaVinci Resolve supports AV1 exporting, but only in the Studio (paid) version. It's limited to x264 / x265 only on free version.

Did u find rendering with an av1 file slower in frames than older codes?

Hey but arent the RTX 4000 series able to encode AV1

this is a great video.

You didn't mention royalty fees for these codecs. Both H.265 and HEVC have royalties attached to their use that can add up to very large numbers (an annual corporate unlimited use license currently costs just under $10 million/year). There are some small volumes of use, and shorter video lengths that are royalty free for now, but the royalty terms can change at any time, and I would be surprised if they didn't start chasing smaller users - especially if AV1 becomes very popular. AV1 on the other hand was designed from day 1 to be 100% royalty free, so paying a little extra for a video card with AV1 encoding might save you a royalty nightmare in the future. The company enforcing these royalties has been making tens of millions from the big streaming and production companies for years, but if those companies convert to AV1, they will need to look for other, probably smaller targets. Also - great vid - your perspective as someone that doesn't have unlimited money for hardware/software is incredibly helpful.
