I would completely abandon H.264 encoding altogether if it weren't for Twitch requiring it.

Please allow this. As an American streamer on Linux, I really don't want to use x264. With Fedora, the default setup is OpenH264--for legal reasons--and a modified version of libfdk, also for legal reasons. That works, and I get a nice low bitrate with good quality, but I'm realizing Fedora may not serve me well in the future and few distributions want to set up things properly with Cisco's OpenH264. But why are we insisting on using this proprietary format? My computer is most definitely capable of recording in AV1 on the spot. OBS allows AV1 encoding, even by software, as long as I'm not streaming Twitch.

H.264 is one of the hidden-to-the-public expressions of extreme corporate greed, reminding me of how it was cheaper for Sun Microsystems to buy out the company who made StarOffice (which now is LibreOffice) than it was to pay for Microsoft Office licenses for all the employees. Please support other forms of video distribution. AV1 for video and OGG Opus for audio would be great. Even supporting older codecs that have no patent blocks would be great, like OGG Theora.

And that doesn't mean you have to give up H.264 encoding support. I just want more choices.

If the transcoding makes my video delay or get a few lossy artifacts to the viewers, THAT IS OKAY. I just really want other encoding formats as an option.

AV1 on Youtube is a meme. It was released more than a year ago and I could not watch ANY stream in AV1, they are re-encoded to Youtube's preferred codec. The main focus on Twitch is 1440p HEVC now.

Twitch is well behind YouTube for this aspect and it would be good to catch up !

Please!

They announced this AGES ago and there is still nothing regarding this.

Such a disappointment and Twitch is so far behind it's disappointing.

How are they so slow to add something so game changing? This should have been added a long time ago

Hurry up twitch, don't get left behind...

So, whatever happened to AV1 support plans? Grand beta announcement in January 2024, indefinitely postponed in March, and then... nothing?

Es increible no poder transmitir con buena calidad con una AMD RX 7800XT por no tener el ehvc 265 o AV1

@Nightcrawla you do not deserve much response, by the fact that you do not understand my comment, and as the 5 of which I put that are the same, VP9 to this day is vs AV1, because google updates it, but I see that you are not informed at all or updated news, that the first thing, second, I do not read closed minds or respond to them, so feel flattered that at least I have spent a little time returning to a ticket that is practically forgotten, because people who need and ask for AV1 in 2023 does not matter and leave them aside where I include myself because now I use AMD, I know how the market works, technology and companies, I know why they do not put the AV1, and I repeat, excuses.

this would help drastically considering i have an arc gpu i need av1

This is important to me!

100% needs to be added

Agreed.

You are right

Always fun to see what kind of garbage washes up in these forums. Were it not for these places, where would all those folks who are fun at parties congregate when they're not out being fun at parties?

We (small streamers) want AV1. We are here to upvote! I have purchased an Intel ARC card specifically for this purpose and will be using it for livestreaming to YouTube. Whatever the hurdles are, Twitch should be paying attention to that aspect (YT/Discord supporting AV1, Twitch not supporting) of the AV1 issue.

Hence this poll.

The rest of you, stay classy. :D

Precisamos que o Codec AV1 seja real na plataforma, pois é um verdadeiro retrocesso diante das concorrentes não possuir!

With Intel Arc being a thing and actually becoming good, plus AMD / ATI GPUs not having any other encoder well supported in OBS, AV1 encoding would be a real game changer a lot of streamers would appreciate.

AV1 would make AMD GPUs viable. We need this!
