Things changed pretty quick. RTX 3000 and newer GPUs, RDNA 3, Intel ARC etc all support AV1 hardware decode now (and some like ARC even do AV1 encode) so CPU usage is like ~5% when playing a 1080p AV1 vid on my 8700K (because my RTX 3080 is doing the decoding). The majority of the videos I get on KZbin when using my PC are in AV1 now. I'm guessing because I have a RTX 3080 which has AV1 hardware decode, meanwhile my Note 20 Ultra still gets VP9 since its SOC dose not have AV1 hardware decode.

Modern CPUs can even do software decode, I mean, my Ryzen 7 7840HS is at 15% usage when playing a 4K60fps video and the decoding is done purely by the CPU no GPU acceleration here... But I understand that most people prefer hardware decoding even if it's less precise, sofware encode/decode will always be better but slower than hardware encode/decode, I can still play MPEG2(H262, video codec from 1996) videos on my CPU without needing my GPU to support this codec as CPUs are general purpose and can do everything, I doubt in 20-30 years AV1 hardware decoders will still exist but I think AV1 videos will still exist but not modern videos and to play these old videos we can just use a software decoder(like dav1d) that will use the CPU, I have my whole movie/videos collection in AV1 to reduce storage and I'm confident to say that even when GPUs will stop supporting AV1 Decode my CPU will always be here to save me LOL.

[@rocvan8190]

This video is specially relevant NOW, because KZbin just decide to use AV1 for streaming in beta. I think this video is hardly focused on content creators and streamers, not on just watchers.

[@vithorcicka3897]

One interesting fact is that youtube has started using AV1 heavily and there is a good chance that this video is in AV1 because decoding is quite easy and most things can do it even if not with hardware decoding. And it's hard for creators to encode without native hardware acceleration, but I think it will be the same as h.265 where there was hardware acceleration but no native. (sort of like a translation layer) And good based video.

[@XxmattitudexX]

I saw a video showing that av1 is only used when view counts reach millions. you can force YT to use it by uploading in 8k resolution

[@noblessus]

Good points. However, I don't think youtube uses AV1 video yet although I wouldn't be surprised if they were planning on transitioning to it very soon given its superior efficiency. This current video, and all youtube videos I've analyzed so far, only offer three codec options for playback: mpeg4, vp9, and avc1 aka h264. We can check the current codec used on any youtube video by right-clicking it and clicking "stats for nerds". I have never seen them offer even h265 so far, perhaps because it is efficiently similar to vp9. I guess for now AV1 must be reserved for videos surpassing a million views or 8K resolution, like @XxmattitudexX suggested. There is, however, an option in the account settings to force AV1 to always be used, but it doesn't seem to change what I described previously.

[@BlakeB415]

Even though KZbin has to store AV1, VP9 AND h264, they see this as mainly a bandwidth saving measure. Once enough devices support the codecs, and they drop support for older devices, then they will be able to see the storage saving benefits as well.

[@Triro]

KZbin should just dump h264 encoding entirely at this point. The amount of devices that cant decode vp9 is so small at this point. Vp9 not only looks better, but also decodes just as fast as 264 on a device that can use hardware to decode it.

The main predicament is most phones won't decode AV1. Unless there's an alternate YT player. But that's where the largest benefit is for users to save bandwidth. If they got software decode support, it would drain the batteries faster. People would have to choose between shorter battery time and spending more on data. As of now, we can save battery and data by defaulting to a lower resolution / keeping data saver mode on. Any idea when AV1 hw support will be normal in phones?

I can just smell the misinformation. 1. You can use software decoding just fine on any relatively modern CPU. I can decode 4k30 10b video on a laptop 2C/4T Skylake trash CPU, so anything more modern should easily be able to cope with 1080p60 or whatever with not much load. 2. Comparing HW encoding vs software encoding is not really fair, especially when considering the fact that game streaming is an area where HW encoding has an advatange due to zero copy. For archival recording, use HW encoding all you want. For low bitrate streaming/recording, might as well use software encoding to get efficiency gains. Let's not forget that it seems OBS, on windows specifically, has problems with SVT-AV1 performance for some reason. Even discounting that, encoding 1440p60 games by default is hard to encode footage, making your CPU work decently hard :) I feel this video would have been better if it took a deeper technical dive on the subject.

[@vextakes]

Yep decoding is np. I think it is pretty fair to compare software to hardware because this video was focusing on the usability of av1. I simply can’t use it, that’s why it’s disappointing. And for my use case it’s only a small loss in quality when using hevc or slightly larger file size but it takes little toll on my system. Also I’m not willing to drop the resolution or frame rate cos my gpu can encode that level anyways Atm software encoding, whether it be windows, my specific configuration, or the svt-encoder itself, isn’t quite there yet. I might make a follow up if it gets better. I really wanted to make a video on this cos I couldn’t really find a good video covering the usability of av1. So I did most of the testing myself

[@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter]

It's nearly always more practical to use a GPU for encoding and now hardware encoding with higher end GPUs can be better quality than that of many CPUs. That said, yes CPU encoding with a good CPU can be great quality, just not practical for most just yet.

[@petouser]

I think the main take is that software encoding (on CPU) isn't good for gaming streams or recordings. Which is also the case for x265. The main reasons why people do software encoding is quality and file size. For things like talking streams, cooking streams, whatever, AV1 software encoding should be fine. Also, if your CPU is struggling, you can also choose a lower preset. Depending on resolution and stuff, SVT AV1 preset 9 or 10 can be the sweet spot, and they are probably still slightly better than hardware encoded x265. Just for comparison, SVT AV1 preset 6 is just as slow as x265 preset slow, and just as nice looking, AV1 maybe looking even better.

[@vextakes]

Yeah it’s Ight. Obv hardware acceleration is always better. I just thought a 12 core cpu would handle it but it can’t. I think I had svt-av1 on 9-10 btw and that was still how bad it was. Anyway it might be better now, this vid is a little old now

I believe KZbin should transcode everyone video to VP9. Instead of requiring user to upload video in 1440p, or have tons of views to get VP9. And if anyone isn't able to play VP9 videos, then they can have AVC copy. AV1 has similar requirements. But you'll need to upload video in 8K, or able to get a video to get millions of views.

Until then, video platforms will prolly just have to be backwards compatible and wait for the long term

[@syspowertools3372]

I use AV1 transcoding for video streaming from my home media server and all H264 content is being converted into AV1 automatically now. H265 is "good enough" but half the space for the same quality as 264 is only part of the bennifit. If you are streaming multiple videos at once to several family members while away from the house that compression really matters. Also, AV1 playback is much less difficult than encoding, so lots of devices support it.

[@Z-add]

You can get Arc a380 just for AV1 encoding.

[@noblessus]

While it's true that encoding on software (CPU) is slower than encoding on hardware (like on a GPU's dedicated encoding circuitry), you could still use your old graphics card to hardware-encode in an old codec like HEVC at a higher bitrate, or even raw video (provided you have enough disk space), so that you don't get those high CPU usage percentages while gaming. Then once you are done recording, you can convert that HEVC video to AV1 overnight using a software encoder and at a lower bitrate. This way you get low CPU usage while recording your gaming session but also get to enjoy the benefits AV1 has to offer, albeit later. Also, AV1 decoding isn't as taxing as encoding, this is true for most codecs including h264/h265. While it is true that most systems might not yet support AV1 decoding, it is not forcefully necessary to do the decoding on hardware, it can be done by software as well and this is as simple as just downloading a codec. So you don't need a new device to decode AV1, if it can already decode h264/h265 well then it should have little problem decoding AV1.

[@WarrenGarabrandt]

I imagine there will be a transition period where AV1 and AVC are both saved in full quality, and only AV1 is served to clients that support it. But soon, AV1 will likely be the only codec that offers anything above 1080p. Legacy clients will be locked out of the 1440p, 4k, etc. higher resolutions, and people will just have to upgrade to get the higher quality videos.

[@nikolqy]

One of the issues is that KZbin stores the original video. It might make sense, but they don’t technically have to do that. Also, I think you’re ideally supposed to record in whatever format has the highest quality, then compress it with ffmpeg and upload it to KZbin. Svt is the only av1 format that will use low cpu. Libaom isn’t multithreaded yet I don’t think.

[@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter]

The part about 'supposed to record in highest quality and then use ffmpeg, simply isn't true, or at least hasn't been for years. Most who upload videos to KZbin now don't use ffmpeg, at least natively and probably have no idea what it even is. There are encoding and decoding solutions available such that ffmpeg just doesn't need to be considered for most purposes by the average user.

[@Morris13-37]

GPU encoding has left CPU encoding in the dirt... AV1 encoding is not meant to be done by a CPU if you want real-time results. It's the same with video games--they used to run off of the CPU alone, until graphics cards started to help with the load. Nowadays you simply wouldn't imagine playing a game like Cyberpunk without using a graphics card. The same has happened to real-time video encoding. I'm sure your 5900X can stream with x264 'fast' preset just fine, but unless CPUs will get specific hardware acceleration for AV1, it's simply not a good idea for real-time video encoding. This video feels like a "mehh I can't use the new technology with what I already have." I don't really understand why this is surprising. Also, a lot of hardware already supports AV1 decoding, including phones. The tech world has been preparing for its mass-adoption for a couple of years now.

There's so many videos about bitrate, CBR/VBR/CQP, AV1/HEVC/264 but none of them are clear and strait to the point when you use something else than 16:9 screens. Will only speak about recording, cause streaming... it's not that difficult to setup something look good. Recording is another story... main problem being: "file sizes". Ofc you can record at 120 - 140k bitrate CBR but the file will be stupidly heavy. Obviously AV1 > HEVC > 264, still HEVC seems "more secure" in my opinion So anyone can give me some hints about what settings should be used for 3440x1440p recording at 60 FPS? Definitely using CBR for edit it seems allways the best choice for a smooth editing experience. But for the bitrate.... i've to admit i'm a bit lost here. Some says 120k, others 60k, others 80k, others are just reading youtube: "something between 30k - 66k forr HDR and 24k - 53k for SDR". I guess if you using a 16:9 you can basically follow youtube advice for their upload and just use the same bitrate for your records. Still no one really answer the bitrate question for widescreen 3440x1440p. If anyone could help me with that it would be much appreciated so my files stop being so damn big 43min 18Go (x2 cause webcam + screen so 36 Go in total). Quality is definitely there, but those files seems to me a bit big in comparaison of the quality that we can see in this video with 2.5k or 20k bitrates.

I have a RTX4090 but bought an ARC A380 for the steam-pc and it just takes all the hardware AV1 I can shove into it. Don’t count out Intel ARC if you need hardware AV1 encoding.

[@KooperK36]

av1 doesn't suck cpu encoding sucks if you don't want to get a gpu just to encode av1 either stick to h.265 or deal with the cpu issues

[@Autotrope]

Even vp9 beats h265 Also h265 isnt closed source, the best implementations are open source, it just has the fear of patent entanglement to it. Which legislation really needs to sort out but until then there's alternatives from companies that commit to not charging patent royalties

[@Abdullah______]

Is the av1 encoder available on the rx 6800 xt?

[@nuwave4328]

Uses AV1 at 20,000 kb/s for CPU and 2500 kb/s for quality. Maybe try something reasonable like 5000-10,000 kb/s?

[@Triro]

And 11 months later, KZbin supports av1 streaming. And Av1 GPU's are now cheap enough where the average gamer upgrading to something like a 7800XT (dont get the 7700XT PLEASE) or the 4060 can now utilize this amazing tech. And while only modern devices have hardware decoding, its still possible for every device to decode it. As CPU's can decode it. Though at a higher CPU usage rate, reason I personally disabled it on my system until I get a 7800XT in the mail. Their are also av1 enocoding cards made for av1.

Real Time software encoding is pretty much a bad idea unless you are rocking a i9-14900K... On my i7-13620H laptop CPU I can get 250fps in econding AV1 videos with ffmpeg but it's not real time when I record my screen on OBS with SVT-AV1 my CPU is used at 40 to 50%.

[@pmAdministrator]

Don't worry lil man, you can ask money from your parents or some other adults that have money. You get a gpu in no time, lil bro. Just do your homework and do the dishes like every other kid.

[@aixizu]

i'm pretty sure av1 is more suited for a gpu encoder

[@Heisenberg355]

Are you really surprised your CPU is "pegged" when recording at 20000kbit? o.0 Even for H264 that bitrate is too high, so with AV1, you *definitely* dont need a bitrate that high. Seems to me you purposely did thst to get a clickbait thumbnail/title.

[@tech360gamer]

The Arc A380 is pretty much a cheap card for AV1

[@vextakes]

Yeah still over $100 just to encode av1, not really worth unless ur committed it feels like

[@tech360gamer]

@@vextakes Yeah I agree with you on that for sure

[@aresiastest]

So many missinformations here. This is not intended to be used for realtime encoding on CPU. If you don't just stick to hardware H265 acceleration or H264 CPU encoding. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Dimensity 9000 phones have hardware decoding support. And even Netflix phone App is using AV1 software decoding on phones and it's not a lot heavier than H264 or H265 decoding. Samsung TVs (and phones) from late 2020 onward have AV1 hardware decoders and were mentioned by Netflix as some of the first outlets for their 4K AV1 content.

[@vextakes]

Ey man what’s the encoding alternative? Most ppl can’t encode it so how is it misinformation- it’s disappointing. Also my 3080hqs hardware decoding and it’s great. Decoding is not the same as encoding tho, not even close, which is what this video is abt

[@aresiastest]

@@vextakes it new, everything new takes time. Your video is like complaining of 4K blurays while still using an HD TV. It's on you, AV1 rocks. The alternative is using hardware H264 or hardware H265 if your GPU support it.

[@vextakes]

U didn’t watch the video, ok I’ll stop

[@maxcarrigan]

Encoding on CPU (software) is rough and inconsistent and would forget about it for this generation. New Nvidea and AMD GPUs have hardware to do it so much better only problem is that no one is buying them, ergo no one is posting the results. Conclusion: we have the tech for it and the demand however no one wants to spend a salary for the same GPUs we got last year with extra bells and whistles. Also really appreciate your content man earned yourself a sub

[@КОМБИНАТ-т1ъ]

Intel has av1 decode hw accelerstion in mobile procedsors with iris xe igpu, and will have encode support in 14th gen mobile cpus

[@doctorb4n3]

You must limit game frame rate to 60 so that the PC has spare CPU time and use SVT-AV1 with "Faster" setting, for example I was able to do it live on a Ryzen 5900x kzbin.infoF9hPsJ1iwiY?feature=share

[@memoli801]

How about now, still not using AV1? Maybe just buy a recording card?

[@GRAFIKAtv]

How to Rendering video in Premiere pro AV1 bro for best quality for Youtub , i have for music video 👏🏼☺️

[@emerson-biggons7078]

I plan on acquiring a graphics card that can do AV1 encoding so I can record high res high fps footage.

[@bjarnenilsson80]

Sell if you are on a desktop and have a pcie slot free you might look into getting a secondary gpu ( intel arc a310 ) they are cheap can be powered directly from the pcie bus and have hw av1 encoders on board. So you getbthe best of both worlds you can keep your current gpu for gaming and whatever else, and the cheap a310 asa dedicated encoder

[@Nogardtist]

20mbps is never too much then it comes to best quality its probably low

[@vextakes]

I was just talkin bout for av1 and just recoding gameplay. Prolly coulda done half that and got some pretty great footage

[@Nogardtist]

@@vextakes still its good to show real time sample and footage then some creators that show graphs also i think AV1 gonna have easier time in pixel style games like darkwood or terraria where no much motion going on

[@fff444]

tl;dr: it's using CPU.

[@vextakes]

It’s in the thumbnail.

[@iv177]

there is so much wrong with this video why would you need to software encode av1 for an obs recording? that's not what its meant to be used for its not even meant to be used for obs recording at all even at hardware? its meant to be a way for content streaming platforms to save on bandwidth and storage it typically doesn't have much use for anything else except maybe faster video editing but i might be completely wrong on that one av1 is now already in use in alot of parts around youtube also an av1 encoder gpu like the intel arc is not expensive, 4070/90's are also i doubt that av1 to hevc to avc comparison was legit, the hevc looked like shit when it should have looked better then the av1, your settings for hevc might just be shit idk

[@vextakes]

Wat? Can’t encode with hardware if u don’t have it. And av1 is def also supposed to be used by consumers, can’t stream av1 to these platforms if u can’t use it, can’t video edit with it if u can’t record it

[@iv177]

i think my response was deleted or there was a glitch or something

Did u swear in it? Sometimes KZbin blocks that

[@iv177]

@@vextakes oh yea i did, woop

[@iv177]

​@@vextakes i wrote a whole thing twice because the first time i accidentally pressed the back button and i lost the reply and then the second time i wrote a longer one but then yea it just got deleted basically what i said in short is that av1 cpu encoding dosent really do anything worth doing and av1 cpu decoding is pretty good cause i would guess most phones have enough power to cpu decode atleast 1080p youtube videos in av1 but thats just a guess, and youtube has alot of stuff in av1 now witch is cool and it saves youtube bandwith and storage also it looks better, and hardware av1 would be good for video editing cause av1 decoders are faster then avc i think and its better then raw video cause of storage ofc, also you can re encode videos without quality loss in to a different codec like av1 from hevc or avc using stuff like handbrake, also phones are coming with av1 de/encoders now i wrote like a whole paragraph before but thats basically what i said im tired

AV1 encoding on what I believe needs AI cores to make it run efficiently... So this will probably works as well on RTX30 series, which I believe has AI cores too.

[@Antagon666]

You don't know what you are talking, do you ? AV1 doesn't use 'AI'. It needs specialized hardware encoder not AI cores.

bruh 5900x is old news now, what do you expect?

[@Mine18x]

Still a high end cpu for many, his point is that if a 12 core processor from 2020 struggles with av1 encoding (i think 1440p60) and playing at the same time (apparently 144 fps), then its going to struggle for the vast majority of users, the solution would be to pick a faster preset, lower recording resolution and lowering the game's framerate as well.

[@vextakes]

👏🏼👏🏼

[@theplaintech]

I've turned on AV1 for KZbin videos. New Android phones have AV1. The new graphic cards have AV1 decoders but no encoders. You have a cat. All is forgiven.

[@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter]

New GPUs do have AV1 Encoding. The 7800 XT and 4070 Super and up for example have it.
