MSU Video-Codec Comparison 2019 FullHD and Subjective reports are released http://compression.ru/video/codec_comparison/hevc_2019/
Free versions of the reports are available from direct links (FullHD and Subjective).
If someone is interested in the enterprise version, you can get it with 20% discount before 30/11/19 (use this link or a promo HEVC-NOVEMBER-2019-DN)
This year we used 100 videos for our tests (list of videos and descriptions: http://compression.ru/video/codec_comparison/hevc_2019/videos.html)
The winners in objective comparison are:
HW265 (Huawei) by SSIM
Tencent V265 Encoder by VMAF
Best bitrate handling: x264 in fast encoding use-case, HW265 in universal and ripping encoding use-cases
Most often was Pareto-optimal: HW265 in fast encoding use-case, Tencent V265 Encoder in universal, SIF and x264 in ripping use-case.
Results of subjective comparison:
Soon the comparison of cloud transcoding services will be released, and also we will perform 4K and high-quality (including AV1) comparisons this year.
Any feedback is very welcome!

No Libaom for AV1? I'm sure you guys got burned the last time considering how slow it was, but now it's closer to ~5x slower than x265.
-
We usually include AV1 in a special report (called "High-Quality") to compare codecs in ultra-slow encoding speed conditions (~120 seconds per frame).
You can find its results from 2018 comparison in "High Quality (AV1) Report"
In 2017, the results are presented in "Part 5: High-quality encoders"
This year, AV1 codecs will also be compared in a special report. We will post news here and on our site, and also you can subscribe to receive letters about our new reports (~ 3 letters per year ) -
Why didn't you guys test any of the hardware encoders? Your test system uses a Coffee Lake, you could have tested Quick Sync HW MPEG-2/AVC/HEVC/HEVC 10-bit via QS and the above as well HW VP8/VP9 via VAAPI; along the same vein why not SVT encoders? Or Turing NVENC? Or Navi AVC/HEVC?
Why not include Main Concept HEVC or Apple HEVC?
You guys clearly have the budget, if you're going to do codec comparison then at least to a comprehensive comparison, do a real shoot out not just pick and choose a handful of encoders.
Disappointing. -
1) We generally test codecs whose developers send us presets and binary.
2) In the report you see only public results, but there are also a large number of private codecs that do not publish the result.
3) As an academic organization, sometimes we are limited in purchasing a newer hardware. We are always open to comparing of new codecs, but sometimes the developers are not interested in participation (lack of time, active development stage, etc.). For open-source codecs, anyone can submit them for comparison (we will need codec name, binary andencoding presets for testing).
