Hm, I wonder why so few av1 encoders are enabled?
Because additional ones tend to have external dependencies we normally do not carry? Also, at least on aarch64 librav1e was a bit of disappointment, at least on default settings it was SLOW.
In addition to what Andrew reported, when building FFmpeg, you have to specifically *enable libsvtav1* which has not been done, but could be if someone tests that and finds it useful. But what is actually more interesting is that there is still no vaapi_av1 which is what Andrea was trying to get working (just to find out that his hardware would not support anyway). There may be some other trick to that too since it certainly seems to exist as a codec in this file: ./cinelerra-5.1/thirdparty/ffmpeg-6.1/libavcodec/allcodecs.c
In comparison I get this list from Packman's ffmpeg 6.0.1 on Tumbleweed-Slowroll:
