Screw Dolby. I’ll only ever encode in AV1 and in the future AV2. HEVC won’t ever be ubiquitous like h.264 and VVC has already had support dropped by Intel processors after only one generation of hardware support. 6 years after the standard was finalized and VVC is still practically non-existent in consumer hardware
Yep, it really seems that all that money goes into coehersion so everyone uses their proprietary format. It is hard to actually come across high quality video releases that are in AV1 - even if you prefer the loyalty free nature of AV1.
But in terms of hardware, AV1 is getting more popular. For one, it is a relatively new format.

For what it’s worth, HEVC seems to have much better hardware support than AV1.
AV1 encodes are also extremely rare when it comes to unofficial content releases.

Til Intel had and dropped support for VVC. Also TIL it’s 6 years old I thought it was still in active development.
