This article is your deep dive into the science, art, and syntax of shrinking x265. Before we look at the "how," we need to look at the "why."
However, pushing the encoder too far leads to the dreaded "blocky artifacts," banding in gradients, and smearing during action scenes. So, how do we aggressively shrink x265 without ruining the cinematic experience?
Film grain and digital noise are the enemies of compression. x265 sees noise as "important detail" and wastes gigabytes trying to preserve random dots.
But simply using x265 doesn't automatically solve your storage problems. The phrase has become a mantra for those looking to squeeze a 50GB Blu-ray rip down to a manageable 5GB or 10GB file.
Are you an encoder looking to optimize further? Join the Doom9 forums or the HandBrake subreddit to share your own x265 shrinking presets.
