I’ve always known that AV1 and Opus are more efficient than HEVC/VP9 and MP3/Vorbis, but exactly how is this achieved? Is it just a matter of more efficient compression?

    Unrelated question. What’s a video card that can transcode AV1? I want to add more AV1s to my jellyfin server but i’d need at least a nvidia RTX 4060 if i want AV1 transcoding >_<

      WDYM by “add more AV1s to my jellyfin”?

      As in have AV1-encoded source files and have jellyfin transcode from AV1 to more compatible formats or to have jellyfin transcode existing videos (no matter what format) to AV1 in real-time?

      For the former, you shouldn’t need any special GPU whatsoever as a CPU can decode AV1 just fine but a GPU capable of AV1 decode could help. That’s Ampere, Navi 2 and tiger lake or later.

      The latter isn’t very useful right now as a device capable of decoding AV1 must be quite modern and those are usually in a position to just decode the original without any need for any transcoding.
