I just finished an 18 hour encode of Arrival (2016).
Source was SPARKS Bluray rip.
VerySlow preset, Constant 21 Quality.
Size : 542 MB
WTF! First ever HEVC encode, and I'm fucking blown away.
If you guys want to download here's the magnet URL:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ndeqc7fqbyqtdw7zmq4ir4uk63wxo2he&dn=Arrival.2016.1080p.HEVC.nEs.mkv&xl=569003157&fc=1
bump, im the only seeder, can only seed at ~75kbps. I think it will be worth your wait tho.
let me know if you guys have any requests, I'm gonna be doing Doctor Strange next.
>>765164
I'd help seed but I can't seem to get past the meta-data. Any possibility we can get the torrent file posted somewhere?
>>765174
yessir give me 1 sec

thanks man ^-^ im glad i brought joy to you today :D
>>765176
Cool. Lets see what we got here.
>>765163
Honestly these days id rather just prefer an ISO of the blu ray disc, even if its dual layer 50gb
I mean we have the space now and you know you're getting the original thing
but not many people are into iso's
>>765179
>My post is so worthless I'll just pretend to be oblivious to insult
You do know that only makes people think you're even more retarded, right OP? No one ever takes people like that seriously. Maybe go out and actually talk to people once in awhile.
>>765163
I do a lot of torrenting, and I find that most torrents are encoded in H.264, what I don't get is why don't more people encode in H.265? H.265 is way better than H.264
>>766411
But it's only like one better, so who cares?
>>766411
Shitty old hardware still needs H.264, and there are still sad bastards who watch porn on their Playstation Portables or their phones.
I say fuck 'em, always encode with H.265. Those people can fap to Cream Lemon.
>>766416
Another question, would I see benefits if I re-encoded a 10gb .mkv from H.264 to H.265?
Would I see major loss in quality?
And if I wanted to gather my own collection of movies, would I buy a Blu-ray, rip it and then encode that with H.265?
>>766422
I wasn't aware Blu-Ray ripping was well in hand. Last I checked it was still a cat-and-mouse game and a pain in the goddamned ass to set up besides (unless you pay for an App, of course).
Then there's the bullshit with Cinavia no one has been able to solve with any satisfaction.
>>765163
might as well seed, OP

Download BD Remuxes/Rips from rutracker, TPB, or wherever else.
From there, you can use mkvmerge to convert any m2ts files to mkv (if you're DLing direct disc rips), then use FFMPEG to encode with H265.
Way cheaper than buying shit.
If you re-encode from H264->H265, the filesize will generally be 1/2 the size, depending on the settings used to encode it as H264.
If you're encoding from an original source, expect the resulting file size to be at-least 1/4th the size of the source.
Any audio tracks above 256kbps (generally above 320kbps or FLAC) should be encoded to 256kbps using libopus through FFMPEG.
---------------------------
Some bullshit commands you can use. They work well enough for me.
[code]./ffmpeg -i input.mkv -codec:v copy -c:a libopus -b:a 256k -cutoff 18000 -c:s copy -preset veryslow -map 0 output.mkv[/code]
Basically, this copies all of the video/subtitles tracks without re-encoding while re-encoding all of the audio tracks using libopus.
You can do "-c:a:trackNumber copy" to prevent specific audio tracks from being converted. So, let's say there are two audio tracks and the second one is already <=256kbps "-c:a:2 copy".
[code]./ffmpeg -i input.mkv codec:v libx265 -x265-params crf=20 -x265-params frame-threads=1 -x265-params psy-rd=1 -c:a copy -c:s copy -preset medium output.mkv[/code]
This will re-encode the input file's video track using H265 while copying over all audio/subtitle tracks.
>>766854
Code tags fucked up, but whatever.
Re-encoding from either an original, or a HQ, source is pretty-much always going to result in a decent-looking watchable video.
Your typical 1h30m-2h long movie should end up around 450MB-1GB, The longest movie I've done is 4h30m long (Gettysburg) and that came to a minuscule 2.2GB. Most movies are within the 450MB-850MB range.
Anime/Animated movies and shows generally have smaller resulting file sizes.
Make sure to remove any shit audio tracks that you don't. They really bulk-up the filesize.
>>766859
>Code tags fucked up
they only work on /g/ dude
can't get the torrent or the magnet to work in my seedbox on Ru torrent. wanted to see what the quality looks like but shit if its not working.
>>766854
Isn't libopus that lossless video standard I've been hearing about? That finally catching on?
Because that'd be cool. I'm a fan of lossless compression.
http://opus-codec.org/examples/
Audio codec came up when i searched libopus and looks to be damn good too.
>>767137
Ya, but lossless audio (and image) compression is well in hand. Not so much with video.
>>766854
Ok but what is a program a pleb like me can use? I can't do CLI for shit and while your code seems helpful, I've got hundreds of files to do and I'd rather not do them one a time.
>>768705
Handbrake
>>765163
I'm curious. if you have time can you repeat the encoding using normal and/or fastest preset to see what the final size is in the end?
>>765163
new to this, what is this?
>>770352
next generation encoding meme
>>765163
But what will decode that? And does it shit the bed with scenes with things like static or fog?
>>770357
mpv of course, or any other half-decent player
>>770362
PC players are one thing, but I'm wondering about my PS3, Roku, Chromecast, etc - stuff I use to stream from my NAS to my HDTV.
>>770386
anything that supports a recent DVB standard (C2, S2X or T2) should be able to decode it, anything older than a year and without recent firmware updates probably won't
>>770386
I can play it on my phone and via android TV, but I can't cast it to my TV via chromecast. It might be the app I'm using, or maybe chromecast itself.
>>766411
It's really resource intensive to do H.265. It takes much, much longer than H.264. People don't want to throw the time into it.
>>765163
what settings and program did you use?
a lot of times I just cant find good settings.
also do you think its worth going 264 to 265?
I see minimal change most of the time.
>>766854
>>765163
Got a question for you guys since im relatively new to it. So if i were to convert everything I had to hevc h.265, there is literallly no point to keeping the original is there? I mean its literally an idential copy(other than file size/bitrate, etc). That is if you're looking to save space in your drives
>>772266
H.265 is lossy like all video codecs, so no.
Though it's unlikely you'd notice the quality loss if you do it right.
>>772266
thats a dumb thing to do. you'd need a bluray then to encode that. you lose quality whenever you transcode. but the difference between a 1gb h265 and a 16gb bluray dump isnt even noticeable to me. especially for anything shot on film.
>>765163
lol. srsly? you know ffmpeg has native GPU hardware transcoding now? it can transcode an hour of movie in about 15 minutes on a 1070.
>>772278
I mean of course if you're talking about converting your vast collection of 700mb yiffy torrents in h264/xvid to h265 of course.
h265 is great if you want to watch the movie on a computer or media centre with hardware decoding. you cant watch it on anything that doesnt support hardware h265 decoding. that means most media centres unless you have a gpu/cpu that supports it. that means any mobile device or android media player box. its not for everyone. h265 might not even become the new standard for whatever the next jewformat happens to be. it's extremely processor intensive which means it's not going to be affordable to implement.
Any of you guys know how to get subtitles from ripped Blu-Rays and DVD's using Handbrake? The ripped movie itself has subtitles, but when encode it, the subs don't go with it.
Pls help
>>772510
Subtitles tab? I don't understand how that even is a question, it's so obvious...
>>772514
lol. Even after playing around in the subtitles tab I don't get any subs. I've ticked closed-captioning and added English as a track, but even after encoding I wouldn't get subs.
>>772514

>>765163
Plebs and cellphones cant play x265/hevc and uploaders want popularity so they satisfy the plebs.
I just wish hardware accelerated encoding wasnt so shitty.
>>766416
>I say fuck 'em, always encode with H.265
agreed.
>>765205
I like isos, but fucking with mounting can be a hassle when compared to the double click play ability of a video file.
>>766422
every time a video is encoded, it will loose some quality. Fucking with the settings can minimize this loss, but with proper training in autism you can see the difference still.
hey OP, what encoder did you use and what settings?
>>773220
>win10
>double click mounting
try again pleb

This thread really made me laugh. 265 is a meme, it literally has no support and by the end of they year those few that do support it won't anymore.
Reminder that AV1 is the future.
P.S. Y'all can't even do proper encodes.
I decided to try h265 again after reading this thread.
I've ripped 300 movies and have settled into h264 Very Slow, RF20 & AC3 5.1 @640kbps for my go-to video/audio settings. I'll use RF23 for really grainy content. TV shows get RF23/AC3 5.1 @384 kbps.
In my opinion, h265 cannot compete with h264 at the higher quality settings (RF20, RF18, etc), but when you drop the quality to RF23, h265 really shines! You get 90% of the picture quality for about %60 of the file size.
It's great for TV shows but I wouldn't use it for special effects movies.
>>776153
You realize that at the same RF, h.265 will have higher fidelity though, right?
>>776168
In my experience, h265 looks noticeably worse at the same RF. Not drastically, but I can tell.
To test this, I converted Avengers: Age of. Ultron from the bluray @ RF20 Very Slow with both h264 and h265. I ended up with files 4.25GB and 3.55 GB with audio and subs. The h264 is almost indistinguishable from the bluray remux, but the h265 has more color banding and blockiness. It looks pretty good but it's not worth the time and quality loss for 1GB, TO ME.
I did the same with the first episode of Game of Thrones @ RF23 Very Slow and got files 1.6GB and 902MB. I'd say the h265 looks 90% as good, but in this case it IS worth it because the file size will add up over 60+ episodes. The banding and blockiness are still there but it is very watchable and still looks better than most torrents I've downloaded.
I played this movie and the episode for friends and family and everyone could tell a difference.
>>765163
HEVC is an absolute garbage meme.
>retarded licence fees
>none of the ubiquity that made H.264 standard
>AOM with Intel, Nvidia, Microsoft and basically every major tech company on the planet backing AV1
just use 264 until av1 comes. In a few years when AV1 hardware decoding is standard HEVC will be all but deprecated.
>>776335
thnx, didn't even know AV1, now I'm exited
