Is it possible to include libsvtav1 in the binary build?

[caffeinism]

I want to do efficient encoding using the av1 codec, but the reference encoder libaom-av1 seems to be very slow in ffmpeg. After some tests and searching, I found that libsvtav1 is included in most ffmpeg binaries and is the codec used for production, and it seems that there is a big difference in speed. Could you please include the codec in the build? Or, if not, is there a way for me to customize it and include it?

This seems reasonable to me

Thank you for your response.

@WyattBlue Would it be possible for you to let me know when this might be officially released?

@caffeinism PyAV 14.1.0 has been released and includes libsvtav1.

[caffeinism]

thanks! i'll check when I can

PyAV-Org/pyav-ffmpeg#139

libsvtav1 is now bundled with pyav. However, I believe you will need to wait until the next (major?) release for it to be included in pip install av

When that happens, please try it out and let me know.

[caffeinism]

Thanks, I'll try it out when it's released.

This works great. I was just wondering though, darwin arm includes v2.3.0 and linux x86 includes v2.2.0, is this by intent?

[JoeSchiff]

All platforms should be v2.2.1. How are you checking the version of libsvtav1?

[caffeinism]

Oh, I double-checked, I must have confused something with the local version. Thanks!
