As a reference to compare the SVT-AV1 results above, I've also tried to 
encode the same input file using libaom-av1 and librav1e
with simple or none (default) parameters. Other, optimal tuned 
parameters may possibly change the unsuccesful results here.
Seemingly something have to be wrong here, as I had to quit these 
hopeless SLOW encoding attemps after a while:

    ffmpeg -i dv01_07.dv -c:v libaom-av1 -crf 30 -c:a libvorbis
    dv01_07_libaom-av1.webm
    ^C^Ze=   35 fps=0.1 q=0.0 size=       5kB time=00:00:03.00 bitrate= 
    13.7kbits/s speed=0.00748x

    ffmpeg -i dv01_07.dv -c:v librav1e -c:a libvorbis dv01_07_librav1e.webm
    frame=  471 fps=1.9 q=-0.0 Lsize=    4864kB time=00:00:19.11
    bitrate=2084.4kbits/s speed=0.0791x

The CPU (i7 quad-cores 8 threads) utilization was here between 100-200%, 
while I think it ran at 700%+ for SVT-AV1.

Anyway, apparently SVT-AV1 libsvtav1 shines as the superiour fastest and 
simple to use CPU based AV1 encoder (before GPU hwaccels)
