Go AV1... In my direct experience the space saving is simply amazing at the same quality.
265 doesn't seems to be the future since all Android are going to support AV1 by mandatory from A14.
I recently started transcoding my media to save some space, and I went with h265 instead. AV1 will be great in a few years, but the hardware support is just not there yet.
Av1 would be great if everything supported playback, maybe soon. Tvs and chromecast with google tv 4k specifically. Somehow the 1080p one does
Will still be at least 10 years away sadly for it to be truly ubiquitous... Remember I couldn't play x265 properly for quite a while.
I got an amazon fire stick, all the new ones support av1 and all android devices from A14 must support av1 too.
On PC vlc plays it just fine too.
It doesn't play well on older kit though. Even the Nvidia Shield Pro won't play them unless they're really low resolution.
265 is ideal for me, even if it's hamstrung on open source browsers.
