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

I was curious, so I looked it up. AV1 is more efficient than HEVC by like 28%! On the downside, encoding is horrifically slooow. It'll be interesting to see how much hardware support AV1 gets in the coming years, because encoding time will have a dramatic effect on its adoption rate.

Interesting to note: AV1 can be played in Kodi, Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, VLC, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. So on the software side, it's pretty widely supported.

As long as your cpu/gpu can handle it

Playback has pretty wide support by now.

Ah, yes, that's correct, thank you. Your cpu/gpu must support it, or it won't play.

That's the definition of every piece of software and media ever.
