Does AV1 need a successor right now? At least as of some years ago SVT-AV1 was stronger than x265 on both software encoding speed and quality/bitrate[1], and a successor would reset the timer on getting hardware decoders rolled out.

- sp1rit 2y agoIt looks like VVC (H.266) will be significantly better compared to HVEC and AV1. But due to the patent issues it'll bound to have, I suspect common usage will practically be nonexistent, just like HVEC.
- adzm 2y agoReally? Last I checked it seemed to be similar to AV1
- Dylan16807 2y agoI'd love to see a well-done comparison between quality and encoding time that isn't this increasingly old graph: https://people.videolan.org/~unlord/SVT-AV1_BD-rate.png https://people.videolan.org/~unlord/SVT-AV1_BD-rate.png I've seen some strong claims for VVC but not with a lot of detail on encoding settings.
