Though in the original title AV1 could be anything if you don't know it's a codec. How about:

"AV1 open video codec now powers 30% of Netflix viewing, adds HDR10+ and film grain synthesis"

AV1 is fine as-is. Plenty of technical titles on HN would need to be googled if you didn't know it. Even in yours, HDR10+ "could be anything if you don't know it". Play this game if you want, but it's unwindable. The only people who care about AV1 already know what it is.

The article barely mentioned “open”, and certainly gave no insight as to what “open” actually means wrt AV1.
