   The Tensor G3 is the first smartphone SoC to support hardware-accelerated AV1 encoding. It supports AV1 encoding at up to 4K60. No application (including the Pixel Camera app) takes advantage of this, though, likely due to a lack of platform support.

     @MishaalRahman It is exposed via FFmpeg, but the resulting bitstream lacks any metadata regardless of the specified container format so the files are unplayable.

     @MishaalRahman I definitely *tried* to try it out, haha. I was doing visual quality testing across all of the hardware encoders present in Tensor G3 when I came upon the Google AV1 encoding block which is distinct from the Exynos blocks. The fact that it doesn't write any container metadata makes it appear impossible to use, though; I haven't found a way around that.
