Yesterday, we reported that AMD's VCN4 was missing AV1 in their recent RDNA3 enablement, the company's video codec support. Twitter user Kepler (@Kepler_L2) confirms that AMD does indeed support AV1 and is located on several lines of code.

Kepler took to Twitter yesterday to rebuttal a claim against AMD not supporting the newest video codec technology, AV1, which increases efficiency and power by 35% from the previous AVC encoding. The lack of information was concerning due to users wondering if AMD was to become a more proprietary force with their products. It would make sense for a company to make their products strictly for use with only their devices. At the same time, it raises issues as users would then have to make sure every part of their system is fully compatible.
