Do you prefer x264 or 265 HEVC?
(lemmy.ml)
Hello just making a poll, which one do you prefer? personally I prefer x265 but since the rarbg falldown i've seen that almost all 1080p rips are in x264, what do you think about that, and do you recommend any place to find more x265 content beside those in the megathread?
Curious, Im pretty new to with encoding, but wouldnt going from 264->265 (lossy to lossy) cause further quality loss? I know you arent supposed to do that with audio, did it hurt your video quality at all?
This is accurate as you're making a copy from a copy. Better to download a remux and then convert that.
Yes, but I prioritise hard drive space over quality. There's occasionally artifacting and whatnot, but I don't have the space to download everything in super high quality.
