Even in this poorly made comparison shot I made you can tell the difference between streaming and "self hosting"

AV1? that's a codec, right? I see in the preferences section for Piped. Is better than AVC (h.2640)?
Yes, AV1 is the next big deal. You can compress the hell out of the video and it still looks near original. I've re-encode some of my locally ripped movies for fun to see how it looks and it's really impressive.
Can you tell me more about reencoding to save space?
I don't know anything about this new one they're talking about, but here is a comparison between h.264 (the current industry standard) and h.265.

The short version: Basically the same quality but half the file size, but it takes much longer to encode.
I wouldn’t call h.264 the current industry standard. It’s the smallest common denominator since more or less every device that’s capable of streaming video can decode h.264. However h.265 is pretty much standard for resolutions above 1080p. AV1 is nowhere near standard yet, though.
