About:
AV1 is a modern free format providing amazing quality
at lower bitrates than h.264/265.
To improve AV1 playback, using a recent build of mpv/VLC should help drastically on dekstop and laptop platforms.
As for Android devices, the latest mpv-android should do well.
If you still can't get it to play, try using VLC and a mid
to high end Android/iDevice from 2016 or beyond. And even
Chrome can play it if you rename the .mkv to .webm!
--------------------------------
Lastly: As an attempt to spread and hopefully popularize AV1,
here's my encode command for this encode:
av1an -i input -e aom -v " --threads=4 --tile-columns=2 --tile-rows=1 --cpu-used=5 --cq-level=17 --sharpness=2 --aq-mode=1 --end-usage=q --bit-depth=10 --enable-fwd-kf=1 --quant-b-adapt=1 --color-primaries=bt2020 --transfer-characteristics=smpte2084 --matrix-coefficients=bt2020ncl --enable-restoration=0 --enable-qm=1 --qm-min=0 --kf-max-dist=240 " -a " -an " -w 2 -m lsmash -f " -vf crop=2880:2160 " --sc-method slow -x 480 --min-scene-len 24 --force -c mkvmerge -o output
Encoder's Notes: This release is 4K HDR and just in time for the 40th anniversary! Enjoy!
