To this fucking day x264 still has the best psycho visual optimizations lmao. Absolute peak of video encoding and it was all thanks to anime spergs who meticulously tuned every single ASM instruction to perfection.

x265's main party trick is hardware encoding. Hardware wants simpler search spaces that can be spread over many parallel tasks and h.264 has to take a massive quality loss to achieve that. h.265 does not. But despite this design goal, NVEnc has a truly pathetic realtime encoder so all the twitch dweebs think h.265 sucks when it's just their crappy proprietary encoder that sucks. x264 is just a better balance between encoding time, quality and disk usage though for general use. It's kinda like MP3 - objectively inferior to AAC but so much effort went into perfecting the encoding in LAME that the results are typically superior to AAC provided you don't care that decoding MP3 is a floating point heavy task that AAC was designed to fix.

someone is paying for this thread with how licensing costs have gone up

The secret that they don't want you to know is that "efficiency" as modern video codecs define it is typically antithetical to "transparency" as people on forums and piracy communities define it. They're aiming for an okay result at lower bitrates, not perfection. Why? To cut costs. Shaving pennies off of CDN bills adds up to dollars when it's done at scale. They pretend that the streaming era has made things better and more modern but it's not actually going in a good direction.

>x265 the reason shit pushed is simple af "Apple is one of many organizations that hold Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) for the H.265 (HEVC) video standard, which x265 implements" they used partially (mostly) expired patent portfolio to chain patent 265 after 264 USA IP is a scam, just like mickey mouse was patented for 20y or so and expired something 80 or 100y later. ofc if you register something new it not magically scam patented 60y after your death

I see 264 I see 265 I pick the bigger number. Simple as

>takes 10 times as long to encode than x264 >t. poopjet with i5 2500kI'm encoding only to av1, which is superior to both h264 and h265

How the fuck x266 is still not out despite H.266 existing for a long time at this point? MulticoreWare still promises x266 soon on their website since 2023

For me it's AV1+Opus >t. Stallman

I wish I still gave a shitx265 still being used by the worst encoders out there to produce trash encodes is still so annoying. I don't mind what codec is used but the curryslurpers took that shit and ran with it so I just ignore it mostly at least for 1080p shit. At least when it comes to 4K they curryslurpers don't bother touching those releases for the most part.

retard trying to encode x265 (HEVC) on old hardware without hardware acceleration, or at the very least, using a software encoder with terrible settingsmany such cases

When I feel lazy i use mp4 cause it encodes fastest on my 4090 with NVENC or whatever. I see no difference, takes <2 secs to make a vid like this. It's basically a fancy gif, and I'm happy

109773358 I didn't click your link to your other post. If you want me to read your post you need to post it again. Work for your (You)s clown.

I've tried to watch a 300Mb HEVC and a 1,4GB h264 and I can't tell the difference

If I am really annoying on the internet everyone will think I'm a super cool guy. Yeah I'm outside! Don't you wish you were outside too? In the real world? Looking like a hobo stinking up your local Starbucks having barely coherent arguments about video codecs on the anime incel website? In a world where even a homeless man can have a smartphone he can also post on 4chan. The next time you see a bum on the sidewalk don't forget to put a dollar in his cup. Cause that bum might be me and if I can't get drunk or high I'm gonna get real snippy with you on /g/.

In 5 years from now, nobody's going to know what any of these encodings are. They're just going to download 720p videos and use AI to upscale them to something that satisfies the hyper-real sensibilities du jour.
