AV1? that's a codec, right? I see in the preferences section for Piped. Is better than AVC (h.2640)?
Yes, AV1 is the next big deal. You can compress the hell out of the video and it still looks near original. I've re-encode some of my locally ripped movies for fun to see how it looks and it's really impressive.
Presumably you know, but for anyone else: the word for this is "transparent." It's when the codec leaves no noticeable artifacts.
Huh, there's a term for that? TIL
Y'know, there's a similar one used in the gemstone industry: "eye clean," which only applies if the stone has no inclusions (artifacts) that can be seen with the naked eye. As you can imagine, it's usually a pretty desirable trait, especially in diamonds. It doesn't really matter if there's random garbage floating around in it, it just has to be undetectable to our human eyes.
Misread as "gaming industry" and was briefly very confused.
