add support to AV1 #195

Closed jeanslack closed 1 year ago

jeanslack commented 1 year ago

This PR adds support to libaom-av1 codec (AV1). The handling of the libaom-av1 codec was problematic with at least my ffmpeg 4.3.5 version on Devuan chimaera 4. The conversion is very long and having thus decided to terminate the subprocess, I have not succeeded. I think this codec is not ready for Videomass yet. As for the libsvtav1 codec I haven't had the chance to test it with Videomass yet.

Before using AV1 codec make sure your FFmpeg version supports latest 'libaom-av1' and libraries, otherwise you will get an Unknown encoder error or at least slow conversions.
