I disabled AV1 encoding in Firefox
AI Overview - Video decoding is the process of converting compressed video data back into a playable format. It's the opposite of encoding, which is the process of compressing raw video data.

Would not have the 'horsepower' to encode, and if decoding, CPU usage would be quite high, or max'ed out so buffering/etc would happen.
Do keep this in mind: Browsers can have issues.

I have AV1 and VP9 MS Store software extensions installed, a LONG time ago. Despite this, suddenly, sometime after the begin of June 2024, every one of my PCs, if using FIREFOX, simply started to chop on 4K and even 1080P videos. Other browser Edge works flawlessly. All my machines are high end, minimum of Ryzen 9 5600HX with 32GB DDR4 so it's not a hardware issue. Something changed in Firefox or in YouTube against Firefox. I also disabled AV1. Also, it's weird to see AV1 is not supported by Firefox since it seems it is supported by my CPU and the codecs are installed.
I have to open EDGE whenever I want to see video with higher quality and that's just bad.
I am seriously thinking to migrate definitively to Edge, since I do not like Chrome and the last time I used it was in 2017."
