> AV1 is not new anymore

Uh what. (Embedded) hardware lasts a long time (and it should!). TV's around the globe are not all built after 2018. H264 is still the gold standard if you want to be sure a random device has hardware acceleration.

I make use of this by taking a USB hard drive with me on trips. Random TV's rarely have issue with my H264 catalogue. It'll be a while before I look at AV1 for this. Sure, I wish I could benefit faster, but I don't want people to throw out perfectly good hardware either!
