  • AV1 leaks + Originals Re-Mastering Thread

We have converted some Canon CRAWs directly into AV1. Really loved the quality boost:

Suggest some Originals to re-master with AV1 renders, better color grading and stitching, improved keying for PT scenes + SLR secret sauce. We’ll also address the blue edge lens artifact, possibly blurring it out or converting it to a neutral color.

Just FYI it's about one week per scene to remaster in manual work and render time + one week for transcoding.

Looks like we have found a magic combo for production and post production. All the new Originals are coming in incredible quality. Can't believe how good it is.

    Woot!!!!!

    Just in time to try with my new VR Headset! (Pimax Crystal Light).
    I'll check later when I'm home, but the .mp4 links seems not working for me, maybe because I'm not on my PC currently? Anyway, I'll check later!

    Kudos Guys!

    Sounds awesome! 👏👏🥂👍

    Here's three of the best VR scenes ever created, well worth a re-master to AV1

        doublevr Someone has intentionally boosted the saturation on that AV1 image to make to look better than the HEVC one 🫤

            As the vids dont work I went by the photo's, zoomed in and compared them but I don't see more details in one or the other, actually just seems more saturation like Hairsational says

              Silly-Sausage Perfect list! Here's adding to it:

              Particularly Mean Stepsis, since it is a dark scene, I would like to see how much difference AV1 will make.

              (Additionally, all the harem scenes!)

                Manny_S So how do you explain the difference then? The color saturation contrast is clearly very different between the HEVC image and the AV1 image. Codecs don't change the image like that.

                  doublevr Really loved the quality boost

                  I consider myself pretty sharp eyed and did not see difference in quality. Both were good. Colors were different but I can achieve this by sliders in DeoVR or change the colour profile (it is usually the last one in menu, was it Adobe RGB or something like that)

                  doublevr better color grading and stitching, improved keying for PT scenes

                  Can you explain what is better stitching and improved keying for PT scenes in practice? I had to ask ChatGPT to figure these out. I have never considered video transitions to be problem. Same goes for background removal. Your passthrough AI model is the limiting factor, not the AV1 improved keying.

                      Tried the HVEC version in the Sandbox but my Quest 3 says it's also AV1 codec...?

                        bazzio You can stream both examples in the Sandbox in both, HEVC and AV1, so no one knows what they are actually watching, which makes the whole comparison exercise pointless. Probably another case of:

                          doublevr im a little confused, which of those two links have actual AVI downloads? When I click on both links they both only show h.265 links? Shouldn't there be a downloads button that is clearly labeled as AV1? Maybe im just missing something here

                            Great work team 🤡

                            This shouldnt be that complicated, where exactly are download links for AV1 files for local playback? All the links at the top take me to two almost identical pages with different download links and neither of them specify AV1 for a download, all show h.265 what am i missing here?
