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?

    Since having a device that can natively watch x265 I only get that format now. I’m not sure of the quality is better vs x264 but for TV shows the disk space reduction makes up for any quality loss. Movies might be different and it depends on the film but I’m still only getting 1080p rips so again maybe the quality is that important compared to 4K?

      I am 100% in on 265, I’ve gotten my Plex users to upgrade to newer devices or they can have transcoded video.

      I would love to migrate to AV1 in a few years, but that’s a ways out.

      4K x264 rips (the few that are out there) are hilariously big compared to the same quality 4K x265 rips
