HandBrake uses the open-source AV1 encoder libaom developed by the Alliance for Open Media (AOM) to encode videos into AV1 format. Libaom is the reference implementation of the AV1 codec, which means it is a widely accepted and reliable choice for encoding AV1 video files.

Kdenlive, a video editing program produced by the KDE Community, uses libaom for its built-in AV1 profile. The May 2024 release of Kdenlive, version 24.05.0, also includes improved AV1 NVENC support.

FFmpeg libaom (libaom-av1) is the reference encoder for the AV1 format. It was also used for research during the development of AV1. libaom is based on libvpx and thus shares many of its characteristics in terms of features, performance, and usage.

To install FFmpeg with support for libaom-av1, look at the Compilation Guides and compile FFmpeg with the --enable-libaom option.

AV1 is an open source and royalty-free video codec developed by the ​Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia), a non-profit industry consortium. Depending on the use case, AV1 can achieve about 30% higher compression efficiency than VP9, and about 50% higher efficiency than H.264.

FFmpeg currently supports three AV1 encoders.
- libaom (libaom-av1)
- SVT-AV1 (libsvtav1)
- rav1e (librav1e)
