    Which Threadripper? What preset (I am assuming this is for 1080p sources) and how much did it take to transcode 90 minutes.

    I am sticking to x265 for HD content (x264 is fine for DVDRips), AV1 takes to long to encode and I didn’t there was a noticeable improvement for size/quality ratio dynamics.

    To be honest, I don’t even see a significant improvement with x265 (relative to x264) for content made before ~2005 or so. Grainy and older content generally requires file sizes comparable to x264 transcodes if you want to preserve grain and avoid smoothing.

      It was a 1950x. I canceled the transcode after several hours and it only got though a couple minutes of 1080p video. I don’t remember the exact times, it was about 5 years ago. I haven’t bothered with AV1 since then.
