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?

Yeah, I don't get the poll. Why would anyone use x264 I don't know!

[–] dodgypast@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The general pattern is that 4k will be x265 and 1080P encodes with DV / HDR10 need to be x265.

But non HDR / DV 1080P and below is x264.

That's what the encoders on the cabal trackers are doing.
