Public bug reported:

Hello,

I wrote about a problem with saving AVIF images in
https://www.reddit.com/r/Kubuntu/comments/qakbk8/unable_to_save_avif_images_in_kubuntu_2110/

The problem is that libavif was build without AV1 encoders, so it can
read AVIF images but cannot save them.

The problem was already reported to libavif package:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libavif/+bug/1943658

libaom is one of the AV1 encoders that can be used by libavif.

The root of the problem is that libaom in Ubuntu is very outdated
(v1.0.0-errata1 version) and it cannot be used by libavif.

Latest version of libaom is 3.2.0

If you don't want that latest version, you can use one of these:
https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom/+/refs/tags/v3.1.2
https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom/+/refs/tags/v2.0.2

or at least
https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom/+/refs/tags/v1.0.0-errata1-avif

Libaom 1.0 is very-very-very slow to encode videos with AV1 codec. People from 
encoding community no longer use libaom 1.0 because it is indeed slower than 
snail.
Performance was significantly improved in libaom 2.0 and even further in 3.x

Libaom 1.0 have some encoders issues which are resolved in newer
versions.

Please upgrade libaom to allow faster AV1 video encoding and to enable
libavif to save AVIF images.

Thanks,
Daniel
