Already touched this topic barely in another thread
https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/pipermail/cin/2023-December/007346.html

But so many SW and HW pieces are mentioned around, it is almost a full-time reading and study:
VAAPI, MESA, VULKAN, Intel Quick Sync Video etc......

I realize my aging hardware which is fast enough for other tasks, needs some "AV1 upgrade", if possible.

But first I wonder, what is expected possible to do (obtain) with AV1 de-/encoding on my existing 64bit hardware:

1) laptop 2018: Dell XPS 13-9370: quad core i7-8550U CPU (8. gen Kabylake) and Intel UHD Graphics

2) WS infinity: MSI Z170A mobo: quad core i7-6700K CPU (6. gen Skylake), NVIDIA GeForce GT-730 graphics

I continue the "AV1 de-/encoding on my existing 64bit hardware" question above as a branch here (instead of a new related thread).

This part is also related to another 2021 thread, [Cin] tried to update av1.webm profile
https://www.mail-archive.com/cin@lists.cinelerra-gg.org/msg02804.html
which refere to FFmpeg's AV1 Video Encoding Guide
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AV1

To start with the workstation 2) above, I want suggestions how to test the possible AV1 encoding options (libaom, SVT-AV1, MESA, VAAPI, VDPAU) using my system enabled ffmpeg 6.0.1 commands,, and also suggestions to required change in system/graphics settings.
