Quote:For the current Intel Arc cards you would be slightly better off using HEVC for transcoding than AV1, if your client supports HEVC. The HEVC encoder on the card is just every so slightly better than the AV1 hardware encoder.
For me HEVC has always been annoying to deal with, some browsers report they can direct play it incorrectly (im looking at you firefox). And ive never successfully gotten jellyfin to transcode to HEVC on any platform.
I personally havent had any trouble direct playing AV1 yet. And nyanmisaka seems to be putting a lot of work into making sure it is well supported for transcoding. Though I havent tried 10.9.0 yet, Ill probably give it a shot today.
