CPU encoding is not supported for AV1 encoding.
GPUs with Intel Arc (not built-in CPU) and NVIDIA's RTX4080/4090 are supported. (18.5 Beta also supports AMD hardware encoding in Windows environment) H.264 YUV4:2:2 10bit decoding continues to be limited in the free version from the previous version. (M1 Mac is in a situation where it can be decoded).

Update details unknown. (It seems that the description of H.264 and H.265 on Windows has been modified to make it easier to understand.)
