OK, so there's currently no proof that AV1 is slow.
But arguing that "it could be made fast" is actually propagating the idea that "currently, it's slow".
There's no better way to convince everyone than pointing to an existing fast implementation.

- Mathnerd314 7y agohttps://youtu.be/Op-rzboJ_1Q?t=2750 https://youtu.be/Op-rzboJ_1Q?t=2750 Q: Will any part of Cisco's AV1 encoder be released as open source? A: Not in the immediate future. Maybe in the far future we will do something like OpenH.264. We'll also have to see what the adoption pattern looks like. So for practical purposes their encoder isn't available and you can't point people to it. Also low-latency high-bandwidth encoding is different from the typical use case where you just want smaller video files, so again kind of misleading.
- clouddrover 7y agoHere are six AV1 software encoders I'm aware of: 1. Alliance for Open Media's libaom: https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom/ https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom/ 2. Intel's SVT-AV1. A highly scalable AV1 encoder. It will use as many cores as you can give it. Netflix is also working on it: https://github.com/OpenVisualCloud/SVT-AV1 https://github.com/OpenVisualCloud/SVT-AV1 3. Mozilla's rav1e encoder. Implemented in Rust. Vimeo is also contributing to it: https://github.com/xiph/rav1e https://github.com/xiph/rav1e 4. Cisco AV1. Closed source. It's the best live encoder yet shown. Only takes it about one and a half cores on a recent laptop to do a live AV1 video call at 1080p30, both encoding and decoding: https://vimeo.com/344366650 https://vimeo.com/344366650 5. EVE-AV1. Closed source from Two Orioles (https://www.twoorioles.com/ https://www.twoorioles.com/). It's aiming to be the best quality AV1 encoder available: https://vimeo.com/344663992 https://vimeo.com/344663992 6. Visionular Aurora (https://www.visionular.com/ https://www.visionular.com/). Closed source. Aims to be better than libaom on both speed and quality: https://vimeo.com/344633364 https://vimeo.com/344633364 Pick the one you like and don't feel misled.
