Because nobody gives a shit about 400kbps? Try the same comparison at a decent bitrate.

>>52288451
I definitely give a fuck about disk space, specially when I just saw a 720p episode with 198 MB when the original was like 700 MBs. And there was 0 drop in quality.

Because there are So Many other important variables than just codec resolution and bitrate. If we're going to give side by side comparisons, we need verifiably identical source data, and a full list of all options, keeping as many of them the same as possible.

Because 265 was made for streaming service to skimp on bitrate. Do your own comparison and you'll see it doesn't do much better than 264, which is tried and tested.

First GPU that supports full HEVC hardware acceleration is njewdia 960. I do have that card.

I downloaded an HEVC animu in order to test if mpv properly supports it via hwdec. Sadly, it's still CPU accelerated but it peaked around 10% usage of all my 4 cores of my 3570k.

It's a wonderful format for small size encodes with negligible "loss" in quality or for nice low-bitrate streams. Give it enough time and I say it's gonna explode.

Intel IGPs have been able to fully hardware decode H.265 since the start of last year
nVidia GPUs have had full hw decoding since the start of last year, and the first-gen Maxwell cards also have partial support
AMD GPUs have had full support since the launch of the Rx 300 series in June

>>52289015
Yeah hardware support of hi10p is lacking
Fortunately 720p TV streams and 1080p upscales with mostly flat colors aren't terribly demanding.

I never thought I'd agree with vomit_chan, but that's pretty accurate. Once the encoding times are competitive I bet H265 will take off. Hardware decoding don't mean shit to anime encoders.

>>52289538
Oops, I meant very few phones have hardware decoding for it. I remember struggling to get my tablet to play 720p 10-bit h264 smoothly back in early 2011, so I'd imagine it's a similar situation nowdays with h265. Just a case of waiting for processing power to improve.

Scene won't jump until there is ample enough support. That's why they didn't jump on h264 until bluray became popular and suddenly we got tons of hardware HDD players; but they didn't give a fuck about it for the previous 3 years when only anime fags encoded in h264 (which at the time required high-end hardware to decode, and GPU decoding was unreliable).

I'm surprised that the anime scene didn't already switch to it en masse. Maybe the encoders there aren't impetuous teenagers anymore, who jump on unproved new tech because it has 1% better compression or can do two more colours on subtitles (remember OGM?).

Which is better, VP9 or H.265?

>>52288582

Everything posted there looks like complete shit.

>>52288860
>Because 265 was made for streaming service to skimp on bitrate.
No, H.265 is meant to cover all areas. It's just x264 (the best H.264 encoder) has had years of fine-tuning of bitrate allocation for human visual perception. (the best PSNR or SSIM scores don't necessarily result in the best looking encode. The developers keep inventing new algorithms to hit problem areas.)
x264 used to destroy backgrounds. It used to murder fades. Now it does its job much better.
x265 is much better at this point in its development than x264 was. It just hasn't been refined to where it can match x264 at high bitrates though. x264 is less efficient, it's just much better at hitting every area to the exact degree it needs.
x265 surpasses x264 at low bitrates, and it will eventually surpass it at every bitrate. It will just take a few years.

>>52296025
Unless you have a fucking celeron laptop or dual-core android device then your CPU should not be overheating from HEVC playback.

You either have a virus on your laptop or way too many apps hogging the CPU on your phone.

I mean I have a prevail lte and it can play 720p hevc just fine without overheating on software mode. Though 1080p hevc stutters often and my phone does get pretty hot after a while.

>>52296025
>pc overheating from hevc playback
jesus anon, what kind of cpu do you have?

Is there a chance alternative codec (such as daala, thor or vp9) will take off, or will we be stuck with yet more patent-encumbered codecs?

>>52292426

>>52295606

>>52288396
>why aren't the Animefags and the Scene jumping on this shit right now?

Because Animefags actually do REAL WORLD test encodes with sane bitrates and have unanimously concluded that HEVC still sucks when using decent bitrates compared to h264, mainly due to blurring out details at the same bitrates h264 manages to retain them.

You get the same or better quality encode using x264 in at least half the encoding time compared to x265, so no one is using it.

One thing though, HEVC is optimized for 4k and upwards, once we see anime releases in these resolutions then HEVC is likely to be the winner, for 1080 downwards I doubt it will ever beat h264.

>using a bitrate instead of a crf value

When you do comparisons you use a fixed bitrate you dumbass, CRF has no fixed bitrate and the values are not consistent across encoders, like for example x264 and x265.

Anime groups are codec hipsters. When H265 gains wide hardware decode support, someone like Daiz will come along and say "lol we're gonna do H265 but with a profile that NO hardware decoder will support". Then literally every other group will follow, except for shit like Crunchyroll.

>>52298038

Daala is being assimilated into the next gen royalty free codec from the Alliance of Open Media, consisting of Google, Netflix, Amazon, Microsoft, Cisco, Mozilla, Intel.

>>52288396

lol.

Also this X265 shit fucks with my CPU heavily.

>>52298092
But aren't h264 and h265 CRF values pretty much the same? ie, 28 for yify quality, 22 for okay-ish quality, and 16 for high quality video.

I did a test encode on a 5 minute clip with both codecs at 22 crf. The h265 version ended up being ~25% smaller and looked pretty much the same.

>>52298126
>Anime groups are codec hipsters. When H265 gains wide hardware decode support, someone like Daiz will come along and say "lol we're gonna do H265 but with a profile that NO hardware decoder will support"

No, they are simply always going for the best quality per bit, 10-bit x264 is what delivered this so they used it, fuck lack of hardware support.

Same will happen for HEVC if x265 comes up with non-hardware compliant encoding settings which deliver better quality per bit.

>>52298126

You really should just gb2>>>/a/

>>52298200
>But aren't h264 and h265 CRF values pretty much the same? ie, 28 for yify quality, 22 for okay-ish quality, and 16 for high quality video.

No they're not, the only real consistency is that lower values equal better quality, otherwise they don't correspond at all (unless through pure luck), the x265 devs have been quick to point this out.

That you can't see any real difference in motion is very typical, in fact the whole CRF concept is based upon this as it is all about lowering quality in high/medium motion scenes and save those bits for low motion scenes where the quality gains are noticable.

>>52298337
oh ok, thank you for sharing that. I had no idea the crf was different for x265.

It feels retarded though, a CRF is suppose to eliminate all the bitrate guesswork and make encoding excruciatingly easy. I was hoping the devs would have figured out to keep the crf values the same for both codecs. Shame, it would have made comparing these two codecs easier imho.

a 200MB h.265 720p 45 minute show doesn't look as good as a 1.3GB h.264 720p 45 minute show guys, where's the more sensible ~600-700MB h.265 versions?
