"eugen only cares about money" is literally the wrongest takes ever. he has gone out of his way to not make money with mastodon. what do you want him to do, live in a barrel?
you know what i take it back av1 is actually pretty nice but holy shit is it slow
my guess is my previous encoding attempt many months ago i used the wrong downscaler which introduced ringing artifacts which in turn bloated the size, that and i fumbled around using a faster encoder instead of the incredibly slow reference one (this encoded at ~25fps at 56x42)
