So…yeah. Looking at file size, it clearly beats older 264 or even 265. I don’t mind if my server is going to have to transcode for most clients, I think the size difference in size might be worth it. But not sure which groups I could focus to look for these AV1 releases, seem they’re quite scarce still?

    Nothing. It’s just that you don’t see people use flac very often as an audio codec for movies or TV series. At least I haven’t seen it very often.

    The only issue would be if you were trying to transcode Dolby Digital to flac. That is not a transcode you want to do.

      Why is that?

            It’s extra wasted space because compression artifacts are hard to compress lossless. It’s a shit sandwich, so people advise against it.

          I didnt realise* that they were lossy. Makes sense now.
