Zoom in x200

Left: 720p x264 --> 0.25 GB

Right: 1080p x265 --> 1.11 GB

I tested watching both on my phone:

  • Without zoom, I didn’t notice much difference in visuals.
  • The audio is stronger at the same level on the x265 version.
  • I need +15 volume level (Android) to make the x264 sound equal.

What do you think, guys? Is it worth 4 times the file size?

    or something like documentaries

    Huh? You haven’t watched a lot of documentaries this last decade I guess. I wouldn’t watch any under 1080p and If I could 4k (for those filmed in 4k) If I had the TV and proper device…

      In my experience I haven’t found the need. When I’m watching ibexes fight I mostly care about the surrounding ecological context, not about counting and cataloguing how many warts do each one have on their dicks.
