I'm currently in the process of re-downloading everything on x265 because of the smaller files sizes. Whats do you guys think? Also has anybody experience with Tdarr?

I really love AV1, it's very small in file size and it's completely free, meaning that it should play anywhere were it was implemented

Are there scene releases that are encoded in AV1?

There are a moderate amount of tightly connected releasers who encode and release AV1. Just add av1 to any search on 1337x and you can find them.

Wish AV1 was more widely used, better licensing than x265 while same compression afaik

It's open, so no licensing.

Also, compression-wise, it's either equal or better from what I've seen
