Hi folks, recently I’ve been contemplating the idea of an AV1-only tracker. Just out of curiosity, do you think you’d find use in something like this? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

    Yeah I’d be down for that. It’s a specific niche that I don’t think exists yet. Would need to have some QC on the encodes coming out though, or it could become ugly pretty quick.

    I would use it much like I’ve converted my collection to h265 when that became prevalent. The only thing barring me is that Plex doesn’t work with AV1 yet as far as I know, otherwise I would be working on shrinking my library size already.

    I don’t think so. A tracker that incentives members to transcode uploads to AV1? Sure, otherwise no.
