So...yeah. Looking at file size, it clearly beats older 264 or even 265. I don't mind if my server is going to have to transcode for most clients, I think the size difference in size might be worth it. But not sure which groups I could focus to look for these AV1 releases, seem they're quite scarce still?

That is not a transcode you want to do.

Why is that?

Dolby Digital (e-ac & e-ac3) are lossy codecs. So transcoding a lossy codec to a lossless codec, is not a good idea.

Lossy to lossless is fine it's just a waste of space.

It’s extra wasted space because compression artifacts are hard to compress lossless. It’s a shit sandwich, so people advise against it.
