I am going through a bit rabbit hole lately and this is due to the confusion between AV1 codec and H264 codec
I am making a kind of lecture course for myself out the videos I found in YouTube Channel.
{Problem faced during the making}>
Recently the changes made by the 4k video downloader had gave me trouble they have reduced the 30 free video download per day limit to that of 10 free video download limit. That is a massive bomb drop on me since I can't afford the fee of 25$ as I am not earning and I am a student. If they didn't drop this bomb maybe everything would have been working fine.
***But the main issue arise with the option it provided me to download videos
1080p H264 and 1080p AV1
I want help related to whether I should download videos in AV1 or H264.
Because I am seeing a shift lately that I am not aware about. That is h264 is becoming old and h265 or AV1 is kind of the future.
I don't want my lecture library to become useless in near future
so please tell me in which codec I must save my video keeping in mind the future and device compatibility
