This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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
