The Movie:
A journalist must investigate a mysterious videotape
which seems to cause the death of anyone one week to
the day after they view it.
My Note:
I DO love a good moody horror movie that's not torture
porn nor (too) many loudness-based jump scares. And in my
opinion, this one has just enough polish that I like it
better than the Japanese original, Ringu.
Stars: Naomi Watts, Martin Henderson, Brian Cox
Writers: Ehren Kruger (screenplay), Kôji Suzuki (novel)
Director: Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean series)

About:
AV1 is a modern free format providing amazing quality
at lower bitrates than h.264/265.
For improving AV1 playback use the mpv video player and follow this guide:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AV1/comments/gjq2mv/drastically_improving_av1_playback/
If you still can't get it to play, try using a mid to high
end Android from 2016 or beyond. And even Chrome can play
it if you rename the .mkv to .webm!

Lastly: As an attempt to spread and hopefully popularize AV1,
here's my encode command for this encode:
python av1an.py -i source.mkv -v " --cpu-used=3 --end-usage=q --cq-level=20 --threads=8 --bit-depth=10 --tile-columns=1 --tile-rows=1 " -a " -an " -w 4 -p 2 --vmaf --vmaf_path "vmaf_v0.6.1.pkl" -s scenes.csv -log log.log -o output --chunk_method select --target_quality 96 -ff -vf " crop=1920:1032:0:24 " --vmaf_filter "crop=1920:1032:0:24" --min_q 16 --max_q 30 (do NOT use select normally)
