On a related note, why are release groups not putting out AV1 WEB-DLs? Most 4K stuff is h265 now but if AV1 is supplied without re-encoding surely that would be better?

Because pirates are unaffected by the patent situation with H.265.

But isn’t AV1 just better than h.265 now regardless of the patents? The only downside is limited compatibility.

I avoid av1 downloads when possible because I don’t want to have to figure out how to disable film grain synthesis and then deal with whatever damage that causes to apparent quality on a video that was encoded with it in mind. Like I just don’t want any encoding that supports that, if I can stay away from it.

In MPV it's just "F1 vf toggle format:film-grain=no" in the input config. And I prefer AV1 because of this, almost everything looks better without that noise.

You can also include "vf=format:film-grain=no" in the config itself to start with no film grain by default.
