On: AV1 Video Codec

[sakex]

Is it possible that AV1 will reach the encoding speeds of h264/h265?

[CharlesW → sakex]

No, all else being equal. AV1 is more complex to encode and decode than HEVC/H.265, which is the tradeoff for higher efficiency.

Yes, in the sense that some AV1 codec implementations will be faster than some HEVC/H.265 implementations.

Yes
