Since we're dealing with simpler AV1 encoding, that does mean we'll be eskewing aomenc-av1, since it requires 2-pass encoding to be able to take advantage of it, and I use it externally since I have access to a special build.

Now, let's get on with the simple guide.

You'll first need to be reasonably competent with command line builds or use a recent up to date ffmpeg GUI with support for SVT-AV1.

As such, I would recommend getting a master git ffmpeg build for the operating system of your choice right here:

Hello. I've decided to share a lot more of my knowledge in public forums from now on, and to not divert any of my focus away from improving the world in a way that stays written in history.

This Gist is about discussing on how to improve AV1 decoding performance on 2 fronts: improving performance through more efficient decoding, and through decoding aware encoding.

Improving decoding performance through more efficient decoding.

Here are many tips on how to improve decoding performance on any machine:
