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?

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?

[–] pacoboyd@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

Thank you! Are these settings for Handbrake?

[–] pacoboyd@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes sir, I use Tdarr with Handbrake CLI to batch process everything.

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