        True. But at least for me, VA-API was not a known abbreviation, that’s why I copied the long form here.

    Why do I want h265. Didnt the copyright on h264 finally run out, so now I can use it without a license finally?

    I’m not going to be using h265

        H264 is much more efficient space wise than webm. So I’ll use h264 because I finally can legally
