    To someone not knowing anything, how big a deal is the difference?

      Super oversimplified, but take an imaginary 1GB video file and it will compress roughly to the size below with minimal visual degradation.

      H.264 -> H.265 -> AV1

      1GB -> 600MB -> 350MB

        Thanks!

        Is it (more) cpu expensive to decode the AV1?
