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?
On ffmpeg, yeah. I can get close to real-time encoding with the new version of libsvtav1 and I save space with around the same visual fidelity as x265, at least, in my experience. If you want to try it out, I recommend using the ab-av1 tool, which automatically finds the best CRF to VMAF for encoding.
edit: Transcoding speeds, I don't find that it's slow, even if I'm using software for transcoding, though I've only been using it for my Jellyfin server for about a month or so.
