How is AV1 better than HEVC x264 and x265?

Question

Does it give the same quality as HEVC but at smaller size?

In: 0

Answer 1

It advertises as 30% higher quality at the same bit rate. So you could either do smaller size same quality or same size higher quality. The downside is it takes longer to encode and not all chip support it yet, so it will probably be a year or 2 before it’s really mainstream.
