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?
Not a popular opinion, but if the media in question is only being played on a phone (especially with a slow connection), I’m tempted to stick with Laserdisc rips (or equal). I’m a 4k Atmos kind of guy, but I can barely tell a difference if I’m on-the-go streaming to a sub-1080p screen
