Since c378a33 we have a patch to add svt-av1 support to ffmpeg-full. The default AV1 encoder is still libaom but svt-av1 has a higher priority than rav1e (see libavcodec/allcodecs.c). And since svt-av1 is much faster than rav1e (which in turn should be faster than libaom) we don't really need rav1e support by default anymore (I guess it can be useful but overall svt-av1 should currently be the best option). And because rav1e's build did break a few times in the past and needs a lot of Rust dependencies (including cargo-c to make it C-ABI compatible) it might be best to simply disable it for now. Benchmarks (though it is difficult to compare them that way): - https://openbenchmarking.org/test/pts/svt-av1 - https://openbenchmarking.org/test/pts/rav1e - https://openbenchmarking.org/test/pts/aom-av1
I've merged my local package definitions with the ones in Nixpkgs.

Let's see how this goes then. We can easily re-enable it in case anyone will miss the rav1e support. |
