Description

The file size of our sample AVC encodings is larger than it needs to be, slowing page load and wasting bandwidth. Lets replace these with newer codec (e.g. AV1) and smaller resolution.

Research direction

Start by locating the sample AVC encoding files and the pages that load them. Compare smaller-resolution or newer-codec replacements, then verify that the samples still work and that their reduced size improves page loading and bandwidth use.
