alt Hacker NewsI looked into this before, and the short answer is that release groups would be allowed to release in AV1, but the market seems to prefer H264 and H265 because of compatibility and release speed. Encoding AV1 to an archival quality takes too long, reduces playback compatibility, and doesn't save that much space.
There also are no scene rules for AV1, only for H265 [1]

With the SVT-AV1 encoder you can achieve better quality in less time versus the x265 encoder. You just have to use the right presets. See the encoding results section:

Yeah I’m talking about web-dl though not a rip so there is no encoding necessary.
I'm surprised it took so long for CRF to dethrone 2-pass. We used to use 2-pass primarily so that files could be made to fit on CDs.
