I think torrents are the best approach to this thanks to their decentralized nature. they can die if nobody seeds anymore but that doesn’t mean uploading it on some site is gonna make it better as that site can go down too. Besides, if you have a spare laptop you can keep always plugged in and doesn’t consume a ton, you can make it constantly seed your stuff.

I think personally the best approach is through torrents but that’s how I see it. Do what you think works best

I don’t drink enough water unlike AI which “drinks” way too much water

I like torturing my CPU.

jokes aside although it will likely keep the slow aspect of encoding like it’s older sibling, I think something like av1an can help speed it up nicely. not only that, if there is a svt-AV2 that will also speed up the process likely

Well, it is meant to COMPLETELY DESTROY THE DREAMS OF VCC (h266) SUPPORTERS- I mean, it’s 30% more efficient compared to AV1 as others pointed out.

Also, this means we’re approaching a moment where most of our devices decode AV1 natively without use of dav1d (although I still use it since sometimes hardware decoders for some reason mess up shit)

there are infinitely many 👍

yooo, this is so amazing!!

Can’t wait to tryout AV2, I’m not sure there’s an usable encoder yet but I am real excited!

FOSS & royalty free for the win 🔥

(I sound like an AI bot but I’m really just excited 🥲)
