I think this might be the most frustrating thing I've dealt with: the `av1an` encoder not being able to create files in the client container. Definitely has free space, the user is running in the container as `root` (also does the this as a regular user) but absolutely refuses to run.
The mystery continues.
#av1an

Av1an encoder complaining really loudly that it cannot write the `.iwf` files to the filesystem and exiting the encode.

Oh yeah, things are working as intended now. Unfortunately, I did crank the settings so these encodes are going to take about an hour each. However, the homelab seems to be up to the challenge.

Doing a test with `av1an` and `SvtAv1EncApp` (`svt-av1-psyex`). This poor laptop is absolutely getting hammered at the moment...lol

Having trouble with my container, seems like it's using the incorrect version of the `SvtAv1EncApp` which is really annoying. Went ahead and just slammed the `psyex` version into `/usr/bin` and now everything is happy.

The `av1an` output showing an in-progress encode via the logs.  Things are looking good....
