Feature Request: AV1 Encoding

[memeasism]

AV1 is an awesome encoder, doesn't work best with discord but will give a good file size for the quality, making it optimal for if who you are sending it to is okay with downloading.

This doesn't look too different than how I've setup VP9/webm encoding. I'll investigate this a little more, but I'm not sure how much of a priority it will be at the moment given AV1 compatibility with Discord/everything else.

In the meantime, you can experiment with two pass av1 encoding with the ffmpeg binary itself: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AV1#Two-Pass
