I might be mistaken, but I believe most high quality encodes in both h264 / hevc are not done using dedicated hardware encoders built into processors or graphics cards. While it's much faster there's usually some quality tradeoff. Instead, I believe that newer processors have additional instruction sets that enable much faster software encoding on the same codecs. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this.
- vortico 8y agoYou're right, there are fewer h264 encoders than decoders in consumer software, but still dozens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC_products_and_implementations#Encoding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC_products_and_... There are precisely 0 for AV1 so far (except some may have a subset of the standard in FPGA by now).
