Even in this poorly made comparison shot I made you can tell the difference between streaming and "self hosting" (lemmy.world)

I wonder if it's possible to re-encode from H.265/HEVC to AV1

[-] exscape@kbin.social 8 points 9 months ago

It's always possible to re-encode video; it's usually called transcoding. However, you lose a bit of quality every time you encode, so you might not gain much in the end. You can offset a bit of the quality loss by encoding at a higher bitrate/quality factor/etc than you otherwise would, but that of course takes up extra space.

You can play in handbrake with AV1 encoding to see how it goes. I think I set the compression to 36 or something.

Thanks I will give it a shot and see how it goes. The biggest thing holding me back is older hardware like the Nvidia Shield for example not supporting AV1.

Ahh, yeah that could be an issue. It takes my laptop like 11 hours to encode one of the Lord of the Rings Blu-ray. I also change the audio to eAC3 while I'm in there for better client support.
