On a side note, I figured out the reason why the color was washed out for the downloaded video. It was because I was using a media player (IINA) that does not play well with 10-bit videos. I switched to MPV and colors are correct now when I watch the video after downloading it.
Edit: now that I think about it, maybe direct play AV1 to my Mac might be a better idea too since AV1 is more efficient than HEVC at the same bitrate, plus after changing some settings (like enabling fast-decode option in SVT-AV1) for the videos, I am able to play the video on my Mac smoothly and I do not see any visual degradation to video quality. The only concern I have is that for some reason Jellyfin Media Player lags with all types of codecs (h.264, h.265 and av1). Would love to be able to stream AV1 smoothly if possible.
HEVC will be nice too, but I can not figure out how to increase the bitrate for the transcode above 35kbps (35kbps is the bitrate for the original AV1 video).
