Shrinking X265

The next time you look at a 60GB remux on your hard drive and feel the panic of low storage, remember: with the right x265 parameters, you can shrink that monster to 1/10th its size, and in a blind test, you might not even notice the difference.

Maximizing storage efficiency by "shrinking x265" (HEVC) involves balancing encoding speed, bitrate, and perceptual quality. While x265 is already up to 50% more efficient shrinking x265

Film grain and digital noise are the enemies of compression. x265 sees noise as "important detail" and wastes gigabytes trying to preserve random dots. The next time you look at a 60GB
