Shrinking X265 [exclusive] -

A standard command for high-efficiency shrinking would look like this:

-b:a 128k : Caps the audio bitrate at a lightweight 128 kbps. 4. Hardware vs. Software Encoding shrinking x265

The x265 codec, or High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), is the industry standard for compressing high-resolution video. It delivers the same visual quality as its predecessor, x264 (AVC), at roughly half the file size. A standard command for high-efficiency shrinking would look

x265 saves space using inter-frame prediction (it only saves the changes between frames). When the bitrate is too low, the encoder gives up on preserving texture. Skin looks like wax. Grass looks like green slime. Rain becomes static lines. Software Encoding The x265 codec, or High Efficiency

-pix_fmt yuv420p10le : Forces the highly efficient 10-bit color space.

is generally considered the "sweet spot" for balancing file size with quality [1, 8]. 10-bit Encoding:

Exceptionally slow and completely maxes out system processor resources for hours. GPU Encoding (Hardware Accelerated)
