No more AV1 8K download option for SLRO?

slrUser

I noticed that the last several SLRO releases don't have a "Max Resolution" AV1 download option. A while back you guys were offering the AV1 version along side the h.265 version. The file size was slightly smaller and the quality seemed just as good (maybe even better?).

Any chance we can get these back again? Yes I know there is the "Studio Master" AV1, but those things are massive...

slrUser It's not just the download options that are gone, there is no more AV1 streaming either.

We had a temporary issue with the AV1 pipeline, so the “Max Resolution” AV1 versions were unavailable. The fix is in place, and SLR scenes are now being re-transcoded.

AV1 downloads and streaming should return within the next few days.
Thanks for your patience!

Can anyone confirm/deny this? I thought maybe the framerate was a little jittery on AV1 (even though my 3080ti should be powerful enough). Other than that, they looked about the same to me in terms of visual quality...
