AV1 at Netflix
summary
AV1 deployment work centers on an open-source encoder called SVT-AV1 developed with Intel since August 2018, published on GitHub Jan 31 with 63 contributors and ~1,356 commits. Encoder and shared decoder exist, automated CI and 88% unit-test coverage accelerate safe changes. Per-title, per-shot pipelines and a film grain synthesis tool preserve creative intent. Current encoder matches reference quality within a 3.4% bitrate gap while scaling to many cores and hundreds of titles are reencoded for partner testing.
