The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

H265 vs AV1 - Experiments in Python
Very well written. As others have suggested, you should do a followup using modern perceptual quality metrics like VMAF and ssimulacra2.

A better compact image placeholder hash
I was thinking about that too. Can't answer the question, but I did come across this just the other day: https://github.com/cloudinary/ssimulacra2 Supposedly good for comparing image similarity. Might depend on your use-case, I think it's geared towards image quality moreso than similar photos.

Unusually good compression ratio - Sanity Check
That's the kind of feedback I was looking for, thanks. I usually go by eye, but at 14:1, I was expecting a blurry artefact-ridden mess, and it just didn't look all that bad at first blush.... I'll definitely check out ssimulacra2, thanks for the suggestion. I also need to sit down and do some proper pixel-peeping on a better screen... I think my monitor falls into the 'HD-aren't' class of HDR displays, so I'm likely missing detail somewhere. My purpose is archival, I want to preserve quality but not needlessly waste drive space on less efficient codecs. I'm not concerned by the resultant bit rate, so long as it has improved compression efficiency over the original.

examples of hardware vs software AV1 encodes?

Extreme Video Compression
Netflix did VMAF for this: https://github.com/Netflix/vmaf
It checks a reference video against an encoded video and returns a score representing how close the encoded video appears to the original from a human perspective.

Linux GUI/Frontend for VMAF
Not sure this is the right sub but I'm going to encode my entire BluRay collection in AV1 / NVEC. I'd like to optimize settings with VMAF but would like an ubuntu/debian based GUI to work with.

Does anybody run libvmaf on your output as a validation check?
VMAF for anybody that doesn't know quantifies the quality difference between a source and modified video.
- How do you guys visually compare clips?

reduce video filesize
Netflix even has a method to measure perceivable quality difference. A little while ago I used this tool to calculate this.

How did my silly little After Effects filter reduce the file to 10% its size? The footage wasn't raw or 10-bit or anything, and I rendered it out at basically the same resolution (cropping aside). How did I do this????
Well you can use something like https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo to look at the files and https://github.com/Netflix/vmaf to see if there is no loss.

4:2:0 10-bit HEVC vs 4:2:2 10-bit AVC codecs higher quality? (S5II, GH6)
You can try some tests https://github.com/Netflix/vmaf

Unusually good compression ratio - Sanity Check
You can try VMAF as well (which ffmpeg supports). It's normally recommended to make a lossless copy first as a baseline too
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ssimulacra2 and vmaf you can also consider the following projects:
video-compare - Split screen video comparison tool using FFmpeg and SDL2
Av1an - Cross-platform command-line AV1 / VP9 / HEVC / H264 encoding framework with per scene quality encoding
