cpu av1 is slow af, especially if you’re targeting ‘archival quality’. if you’re just after something ‘watchable’ (~ ‘dvd quality’), a lowly haswell i7 can do it at a ‘reasonable’ speed.
i would suggest trying a recent-gen (lovelace or newer) nvidia card with av1 support in hardware. a 4060 is running well here for what i’m currently doing. i also have a low-end alchemist (a380), but nvenc works better for me than qsv.
I only do CPU encodes at the slowest encoder preset possible (above placebo) as this is for my movies/series collection that I’ve been building for ~20 years.
I do actually watch the movies/series both by myself and with others, so this is not just OCD data hoarding. :)
