Literally the only thing missing is full migration to H265 or AV1 with a solid bitrate.

It’s still a bit inconsistent due to hardware acceleration capabilities and final file size targets.

Most torrents are too compressed or too huge.

Luckily bandwidth and storage is cheaper than ever, so going for full size quality rips is viable for many.

Once Intel ARC cards are supported natively in UnRaid, I’ll be transcoding everything to AV1.

Hardware encoding for AV1 is really all that has been missing for it to be widely used for homelab setups.

  To someone not knowing anything, how big a deal is the difference?

    Super oversimplified, but take an imaginary 1GB video file and it will compress roughly to the size below with minimal visual degradation.
    
    H.264 -> H.265 -> AV1
    
    1GB -> 600MB -> 350MB

    Thanks!
    
    Is it (more) cpu expensive to decode the AV1?

Solid bitrate? I used 400 kb/s AV1 constant bitrate for HD anime, 750 for HD realfilm, results in 300 MB and 500 MB files for 2 hours film, no artifacts. Why does Handbrake default to 6000 kb/s?
