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?

I just finished moving all my media to x265 and saved 7TB in the process. Quality looks plenty good to me but I always start from a remux if I can. Totally Worth it for the extra space.

x265 all the way, it uses less storage but can still look good.

All my content is converted to CPU encoded x265. Size is MUCH smaller and quality better than GPU encoded x265. My preference is to get remux copies of the content and then encode it myself.

Could you share your encoding settings?

Let’s see if this works:

1080p Encoder Settings

2k Encode Settings

I don’t keep 4k content, I find that 2k encodes for the stuff I really want at high fidelity is enough with Nvidia upscaling (Nvidia shield). Plus surprisingly some of my 2k files are no larger than 1080p.

Can i ask what sort of size you’re getting with your settings?

A lot of comments suggesting AV1 has better compatibility than h265. In my experience the opposite is true. H265 is supported by all of my devices including Plex on my smart TV without transcoding, whereas AV1 makes everything have a fit trying to play it. Am I doing something wrong?

AV1 seems like a more open successor to HEVC/x265 and since it’s quite new compared to that only new devices are just starting to support it through hardware decoding/encoding

Looks like it glitched and posted your comment multiple times, at least on my end it looks like it.

x265 because all of my devices support it. Once they release a Nvidia Shield TV like device that supports AV1 I’ll change once again.

Maybe in the future AV1 will even get faster with the better implementations. It’s a great codec just sad that the older Raspberry Pi’s just hate x265.
