+# Phase 2: Next-Generation Codecs Implementation
+
+## 🎯 Overview
+
+Successfully implemented comprehensive next-generation codec support (AV1, HEVC/H.265, HDR) that seamlessly integrates with the existing production-grade video processing infrastructure.
+
+## 🚀 New Codec Capabilities
+
+### AV1 Codec Support
+**Industry-Leading Compression**
+- **30% better compression** than H.264 at same quality
+- Two-pass encoding for optimal quality/size ratio
+- Single-pass mode for faster processing
+- Support for both MP4 and WebM containers
+
+**Technical Implementation**
+```python
+# New format options in ProcessorConfig
+output_formats=["av1_mp4", "av1_webm"]
+
+# Advanced AV1 settings
+enable_av1_encoding=True
+prefer_two_pass_av1=True
+av1_cpu_used=6  # Speed vs quality (0=slowest/best, 8=fastest)
+```
+
+**Advanced Features**
+- Row-based multithreading for parallel processing
+- Tile-based encoding (2x2) for better parallelization
+- Automatic encoder availability detection
+- Quality-optimized CRF values per preset
+
+### HEVC/H.265 Support
+**Enhanced Compression**
+- **25% better compression** than H.264 at same quality
+- Hardware acceleration with NVIDIA NVENC
+- Automatic fallback to software encoding (libx265)
+- Production-ready performance optimizations
+
+**Smart Hardware Detection**
+```python
+# Automatic hardware/software selection
+enable_hardware_acceleration=True
+# Uses hevc_nvenc when available, falls back to libx265
+```
+
+### HDR Video Processing
+**High Dynamic Range Pipeline**
+- HDR10 standard support with metadata preservation
+- 10-bit encoding (yuv420p10le) for extended color range
+- BT.2020 color space and SMPTE 2084 transfer characteristics
+- Automatic HDR content detection and analysis
+
+**HDR Capabilities**
+```python
+# HDR content analysis
+hdr_analysis = hdr_processor.analyze_hdr_content(video_path)
+# Returns: is_hdr, color_primaries, color_transfer, color_space
+
+# HDR encoding with metadata
+hdr_processor.encode_hdr_hevc(video_path, output_dir, video_id, "hdr10")
+```
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture Excellence
+
+### Seamless Integration Pattern
+**Zero Breaking Changes**
+- Existing `VideoProcessor` API unchanged
+- All existing functionality preserved
+- New codecs added as optional formats
+- Backward compatibility maintained 100%
+
+**Extension Points**
+```python
+# VideoEncoder class extended with new methods
+def _encode_av1_mp4(self, input_path, output_dir, video_id) -> Path
+def _encode_av1_webm(self, input_path, output_dir, video_id) -> Path  
+def _encode_hevc_mp4(self, input_path, output_dir, video_id) -> Path
+```
+
+### Advanced Encoder Architecture
+**Modular Design**
+- `AdvancedVideoEncoder` class for next-gen codecs
+- `HDRProcessor` class for HDR-specific operations
+- Clean separation from legacy encoder code
+- Shared quality preset system
+
+**Quality Preset Integration**
+```python
+# Enhanced presets for advanced codecs
+presets = {
+    "low": {"av1_crf": "35", "av1_cpu_used": "8", "bitrate_multiplier": "0.7"},
+    "medium": {"av1_crf": "28", "av1_cpu_used": "6", "bitrate_multiplier": "0.8"},
+    "high": {"av1_crf": "22", "av1_cpu_used": "4", "bitrate_multiplier": "0.9"},
+    "ultra": {"av1_crf": "18", "av1_cpu_used": "2", "bitrate_multiplier": "1.0"},
+}
+```
+

+## 🎛️ Configuration Options
+
+### New ProcessorConfig Settings
+```python
+# Advanced codec control
+enable_av1_encoding: bool = False
+enable_hevc_encoding: bool = False
+enable_hardware_acceleration: bool = True
+
+# AV1-specific tuning
+av1_cpu_used: int = 6  # 0-8 range (speed vs quality)
+prefer_two_pass_av1: bool = True
+
+# HDR processing
+enable_hdr_processing: bool = False
+
+# New output format options
+output_formats: ["mp4", "webm", "ogv", "av1_mp4", "av1_webm", "hevc"]
+```
+
+### Usage Examples
+```python
+# AV1 for streaming
+config = ProcessorConfig(
+    output_formats=["av1_webm", "mp4"],  # AV1 + H.264 fallback
+    enable_av1_encoding=True,
+    quality_preset="high"
+)
+
+# HEVC for mobile
+config = ProcessorConfig(
+    output_formats=["hevc"],
+    enable_hardware_acceleration=True,
+    quality_preset="medium"
+)
+
+# HDR content
+config = ProcessorConfig(
+    output_formats=["hevc"],
+    enable_hdr_processing=True,
+    quality_preset="ultra"
+)
+```
+
+## 🔧 Production Deployment
+

+encoder = AdvancedVideoEncoder(config)
+av1_available = encoder._check_av1_support()
+hardware_hevc = encoder._check_hardware_hevc_support()
+```
+
+## 📈 Performance Impact
+
+### Encoding Speed
+- **AV1**: 3-5x slower than H.264 (configurable with av1_cpu_used)
+- **HEVC**: 1.5-2x slower than H.264 (hardware acceleration available)
+- **HDR**: Minimal overhead over standard HEVC
+
+### File Size Benefits
+- **Storage savings**: 25-30% reduction in file sizes
+- **Bandwidth efficiency**: Significant streaming cost reduction
+- **Quality preservation**: Same or better visual quality
+
+## 🚀 Future Extensions Ready
+
+The advanced codec implementation provides excellent foundation for:
+- **Phase 3**: Streaming & Real-Time Processing
+- **AV1 SVT encoder**: Intel's faster AV1 implementation
+- **VP10/AV2**: Next-generation codecs
+- **Hardware AV1**: NVIDIA/Intel AV1 encoders
+
+## 💡 Key Innovations
+
+1. **Progressive Enhancement**: Advanced codecs enhance without breaking existing workflows
+2. **Quality-Aware Processing**: Intelligent preset selection based on codec characteristics  
+3. **Hardware Optimization**: Automatic detection and utilization of hardware acceleration
+4. **Future-Proof Architecture**: Ready for emerging codec standards and streaming requirements
+
+This implementation demonstrates how to **enhance production infrastructure** with cutting-edge codec technology while maintaining reliability, compatibility, and ease of use.
