AV1

AV1 is a modern video compression standard designed to reduce the size of video files while maintaining high quality. Developed by the Alliance for Open Media, it enables streaming services and platforms to deliver sharper, clearer videos more efficiently over the internet. AV1 is open-source, meaning it's free to use and supported by many major companies. By improving compression, AV1 helps reduce bandwidth usage and costs, making high-quality streaming more accessible, faster, and environmentally friendly. It is especially useful for streaming live videos, online platforms, and future content delivery.
