Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Guide to Adopting AV1 Encoding
The hardware encoders are very fast and generally better than x264 (but not by as much as you'd think with the x264 slow preset).
In addition, there are threaded AV1 encoders you may be overlooking, like SVT-AV1. For non-realtime, my favorite is av1an, which also yields better quality than is possible from aomenc: https://github.com/master-of-zen/Av1an

I have a feeling crunchyroll should be using AV1
I specifically used https://github.com/master-of-zen/Av1an with --target-quality 100 to keep the compression as close to lossless as possible (you could probably shave even more size off if you didn’t use near-lossless compression)

Automatic choose encode settings?
There's also Av1an as suggested by someone else. It's going to produce more efficient encodes because it uses chunk-based encoding to reach the required VMAF for every single chunk, but this is also slower because every chunk will be re-encoded until the VMAF target is reached. It's also a PITA to compile, has a long list of bugs, and isn't very actively developed. One of the long-standing issues is that frames have a tendency to go missing during splitting, which IME is going to keep happening when the input files aren't standardized. And thus the recommendation is to transcode the input to lossless first, which is just completely unsustainable.

Building pc for ffmpeg rendering
i'm still trying to figure out if av1an is the breakthrough to using large CPU counts without losing quality. but it's a ridiculously poorly documented program. i haven't gotten it to run effectively yet. https://github.com/master-of-zen/Av1an

Codecs for the 4K Era: HEVC, AV1, VVC and Beyond
I don't know about VVC, but I've never seen a recommendation of preset 0 for SVT-AV1. The docs say "presets 1-3 represent extremely high efficiency, for use when encode time is not important and quality/size of the resulting video file is critical". It seems like 0 is the equivalent placebo preset. But if you want AV1 with coding efficiency over all else, IIRC the typical approach is to use av1an to detect scene transitions and farm out parallel encodes with aomenc.

Automating av1 encoding?
That might be because it doesn't work.
-
VMAF is confusing me
Have you seen Av1an? It's supposed to encode to a target VMAF.

Learn x86-64 assembly by writing a GUI from scratch
Sure. You'll see it very often in codec implementations. From rav1e, a fast AV1 encoder mostly written in Rust: https://github.com/xiph/rav1e/tree/master/src/x86
Large portions of the algorithm have been translated into assembly for ARM and x86. Shaving even a couple percent off something like motion compensation search will add up to meaningful gains.
Or the current reference implementation of JPEG: https://github.com/libjpeg-turbo/libjpeg-turbo/tree/main/sim...

SISVEL VP9/AV1 patent declared invalid in China
Again, if anything AOM would be the one restricting licenses to AV1 (if they chose to) except AOM has stated and also published AV1 in a way to allow license free access to development (which allows people to make forks of the official build like it's open source) and usage. (1)(2) I don't see why they would suddenly change this.
- Any new Opensource projects in (rust) looking for contributors. I want to start my journey as an OSS contributor.
- assembly from dav1d 1.1.0 now integrated into rav1e
-
A little script to parse large libraries to AV1, if you're interested
You can speed up the sampling process with --vmaf n_subsample=5, which in my experience works more accurately than either 2 or 4, possibly due to this bug/feature present in multiple encoders. You might also need to manually set the number of threads used for VMAF calculation with --vmaf n_threads=16, but YMMV.

rav1e wrong mastering-display output?
I put in the request for ffmpeg passthrough mastering-display data a few years ago and haven't heard of any support yet.

Release Notes: Safari 16.4 Beta adds AV1 codec + hardware decode for WebRTC
It's entirely possible to re-use bits of other HW encoders for the first pass (motion estimation, etc).
