I don’t even use av1 for anything. 🤷

Honestly, that’s how the codec game works. Most people or software don’t adopt until after the successor is in place. It’s more about the software side lagging to adopt though. Nvidia just got AV1 into their hardware processing pipeline in the last 2 years. I think AMD is even more recent than that.

Streaming sites use them so there’s a solid chance you’ve used it plenty without actively choosing to

I don’t use it, I can’t speak to anyone else using it. If YouTube is sending it out that’s them using it. None of my files are that codec.

My problem with AV1 is that so many people I talk to in real life about it think I'm mispronouncing AVI (Audio Video Interleave), the old container format that was popular in the 90s and early 2000s. I tell them it's a video codec and they act all surprised like H.264 and H.265 are the only ones in existence.
