    Oh Tom's Hardware, you couldn't resist the lure of AI for writing your headlines, could you? I can't imagine it's your human authors who mixed up H264 and H265 in the same sentence!

    How soon before x264 and x265 end up getting pulled and h.264 and h.265 support gets locked to Windows like is happening with HDMI 2.1 being blocked on Linux?

    Get everyone in AV1. so much better quality. Pain in the ass to encode though (CPU mode in handbrake I mean)

    Software decoding is an option. My Thinkpad T480 can play 1080p AV1 if the bitrate isn't super high. That's a mid range business laptop from 2018. It's the encoding that really needs hardware acceleration.

    Am I missing something? The title mentions h264(AVC) but the article talks about HEVC which is h265

    Well that’s one way to move people to AV1
