Hello just making a poll, which one do you prefer? personally I prefer x265 but since the rarbg falldown i've seen that almost all 1080p rips are in x264, what do you think about that, and do you recommend any place to find more x265 content beside those in the megathread?
AV1 when available for everything other than 3d content which is ideally x265.
Honestly it blows my mind that x264 is still as popular as it is.
x264 is still popular because lots of active devices (mainly TVs and smartphones) still don't have native support for x265.
People need to upgrade their shit
Remember how long DivX/XviD hung on for, it's all down to device compatibility.
From a place of ignorance: why is x265 better for 3d and not AV1?
Strictly because the tooling doesn't exist in an easy enough way to go from blu-ray -> full-sbs encode at this point.
I'm constrained by knowledge to only use tools like BD3D2MK3D to create full-sbs encode in x265 which I watch in VR.
If AV1 were an option in this tool I'd consider it, but the additional encoding time might not be worth it to me as the person actually encoding the files.
If anyone has knowledge of F-SBS or F-OU AV1 content or tooling please let me know as I'd be glad to learn.
