Try AV1 codec now in YouTube

• markdog12 8y ago
  Just tested a few and the quality is quite a leap forward. AV1 1080P looks almost as good as VP9/MP4 4K in my tests. Check the Halo one out in particular. Wish they had some 4K available. Caveat: "At time of writing, these transcodes are encoded at a very high bitrate for decoder performance testing." Also, I wonder why Firefox isn't supported, since it does AV1 decoding?

    It is supported if you activate media.av1.enabled and media.mediasource.experimental.enabled in about:config
