With Firefox 67 on a quad core Mac I'm getting solid video playback on AV1 on Youtube 1080p
If you want to test this right now, here is how to enable AV1 in Youtube and test videos.
Goto the youtube testtube page and click "Always Prefer AV1"

AV1 Beta Launch Playlist
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyqf6gJt7KuHBmeVzZteZUlNUQAVLwrZS https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyqf6gJt7KuHBmeVzZteZ...
And click "stats for nerds", if it's working it should show "av01" under the Codecs tab.

- rutierut 7y agoThanks, I used the Halo video[0] to compare, a couple of notes. - Youtube seems to have limited the AV1 support to 1080p, 1440/2160p are not available, anyone any idea why? - The load on my CPU (MB Pro 2018 quad-core/ FF DE 67.0b9) seems about the same but I do seem to be dropping significantly less frames, not sure though.

- chupasaurus 7y ago> Youtube seems to have limited the AV1 support to 1080p, 1440/2160p are not available, anyone any idea why? They probably don't reencode 1440+p (there are 8K videos too) in AV1 as of yet.
- lousken 7y agoit was probably encoded at a time when they didn't do 4k av1 tests but only 1080p, but since then they also did a 4k one if you wanna test it https://youtu.be/LXb3EKWsInQ https://youtu.be/LXb3EKWsInQ
