-There are various methods, and the recommendation is to use the top ones here before the latter.
+While AV1 is used to create video files, it is not a file format.
+  * Rather, it is a compression format that any program that saves video files can use to compress videos.
+  * AV1 videos are most commonly saved using one of several more common video container formats, such as MP4, MKV, and WEBM.
+    * However, in rare circumstances, you may encounter an AV1 video saved with the **.av1** extension.
+There are various methods to convert to AV1.
 AV1 is implemented in **libaom** and **svt-av1**.
