Confirmed here. AV1 looks to be a "container" selection rather than a "codec" selection, could that be the source of the problem?

Just tested it myself, and it works fine now. I guess I should've tested it after the merge happened, though I assumed that the merge commit would be identical to the patch I made.

It should have been, but there were some merge conflicts with latest master i had to manually resolve and i pasted the changes for rna_scene.c into the wrong table, my bad, in my defense: I did run the tests on the bots before landing, which sadly gave the a-ok signal and didn't notice the bug.

Yeah, the tests for videos in our test suite are very poor.

I broke video playback and encoding completely one time (everything was shown and rendered out as solid grey color), still the tests gave an ok as it only checks for file duration.

Well at least the fix wasn't hard. Thanks for figuring out the problem quickly.

@Stephen-Seo sorry to ask, but do you have plans to add HEVC (H.265) support too? would be awesome
thanks

I wanted to add support for AV1 because it is a relatively new format that is not encumbered by patents (its a free codec). H265 however, is a different story. Even if it were a free codec, I think Blender would also need to add an additional library dependency such that FFMpeg shipped with blender could even encode to H265. Sorry, but I have no plans to add support for H265.

I guess you mean the "libx265" thing? I see.
Thanks for the answer.

Update:
With a new scene, it works.
I had taken the old scene from my first post to test and with that I got the error message again.

Unfortunately I still get the same error with Blender from today although it should be fixed.

Otherwise all the same as before.
