The format doesn't matter to me. Most everything can play mkv. If you have something unusual or shitty that doesn't , transcode. The bigger issue to me is 10bit / hi10 and or HEVC / x265. We don't yet have a great HEVC open source codec do we?

However, I love 265 content. Great quality, smaller size. However, few devices can play it. Likewise 10bit 264 or 265. Lots of things are 10 bit and many devices can't play it right. Especially as we .move toward 4k, both of these are more useful. However, it seems we lack good effective hardware players with 4k, 10 bit 265 and VP9 support on a 64 bit device. Most of the Chinese shit Android players can't do this well, even if they claim they can. Only devices with Amlogic S905 can even play it, really.

Worse it seems hard to find a media streamer player that allows to play both pirated shit off the local network with the above specs and run highest quality Android apps. Most players don't even run Android 6.0 or Android TV 6.0, the newest seem stuck on 5.1.1 if you're lucky. The only three legit players I've found all have their own issues. Nexus Player can't handle 10bit, but it at least has newest Android and stuff. Little old now, wish they had a new version. Shield TV is the most powerful, can even play 4k 265 10bit, but costs 200 USD at minimum. Not sure if it will be updated but it does seem to be newest OS. Lastly, the WeTek Core is the best box of its type and is made by a great company. They are partners with Kodi and OpenElec, support both on the device. The only bad thing about it is that its Amlogic S812 doesn't support 10 bit and that its on Android 5.1.1 . if they made a newer device chipset, ID love to support the company. Anyone know any worthwhile Android media players?

I figure I may need to run Plex or Emby on my file server...

It's not a format but a container.
It's purpose is not related to substitles, but in multi-audio solutions. Given how poo-in-the-loos are so adamant on watching everything dubbed in their fart language, you could say this decision was oriented at this giant collective and similar.

Depends on the quality level you set. If you use H265 in lossless mode you would lose no quality.

To get a true lossless mode you need to set the x265 option

How are you going to remux h264 to h265?

>>53948793
In reality: Yes you can convert h264 to h265, yes that means you have to transcode it. Transcoding to a lossy format means you lose quality, and doing a transcode of an encode gives you even more loss than transcoding from a transport stream or a full bluray.

But if I encode all the h254 to h265 won't it reduce the file sizes? also in pic are these the correct choices, the video I'm encoding has an overall bitrate of 11.9Mpbs
>>
>>53948935
I haven't actually tried it, and chinese cartoons are mostly static images with moving mouths. Easy shit to compress. I don't think it'd be orders of magnitude larger.

Not if you convert it lossless. It will try to encode everything as-is, including all existing compression artifacts. The bitrate will blow up.

>>53948946
I haven't really used Handbrake, but it doesn't look like it'd do what you want.

The option for lossless is --lossless, which is what you need to put in the extra options. It'd probably ignore the bitrate/crf setting you set then.

If your source is 11.9Mbit/s and you set avg bitrate to 11900 kbit/s, your result would have the exact same filesize but with some bonus quality loss from generation loss. Bitrate is what determines filesize, so if you have a source that's 10mbit/s and you encode it in H265 at 20mbit/s, you'd actually double the filesize.

The promise of H265 is that it can do equal quality to H264 at half the bitrate, or better quality at identical bitrates. This means that if you have a source that's 40mbit/s, and you encode it in H264 at 10mbit/s and in H265 at 5mbit/s, both of those encodes should have similar quality.

What you'd want is to halve your bitrate and encode at that, which would save you 50% on your filesize. You will lose quality from doing that though, because of generation loss.
>>
>>53949012
No, it should be over 100 desu senpai
>>
>>53949033
ah ok, so what you're saying is I should encode from a source file that has a high bitrate untouched then encode that to h265? I can find a 40-50Mbps anime movie then encode it in h265 at 10Mbps? But how do I find the spot where I don't encode it so much it loses quality? Do I have to do trail and error?

I tried it.

Source: [Vivid] Mushishi Zoku Shou - 01 [8902B060].mkv
>Codec: H.264
>Overall average bitrate: 1.4 Mbps

I extracted the first 6 minutes of this as lossless y4m, for reference (and compatibility with the next step). This resulted in a file with an average bitrate of 532.95 Mbps.

I then encoded it with
x265 --lossless
. This resulted in a file with an average of 24 Mbps.

So it's not quite as gigantic as naive lossless algorithms (i.e. y4m), but it's still bigger by a factor of 20x Not exactly a good archival solution.

For the curious, I also tried ffv1, which is another lossless codec. This resulted in a file with an average bitrate of 80 Mbps.
>>
>>53949085
It is pretty much trial and error, yes. Consider encoding in chains like this:

Source -> Encode A -> Encode B
Source -> Encode C

The way it works is that B will NEVER be higher quality than A, at most it can be identical if you use lossless encoding. The problem with that is that lossless video is enormous, so you'd be increasing the filesize, making it pointless to do if your goal is to save diskspace, you'd be better off just keeping A as it is. Encoding B in higher bitrate than the source in H265 would still not make it better, it would be worse than A because of generation loss, which is what happens when you encode something lossy -> lossy. Think overly JPG'd shit.

If B and C are both encoded with the same options, C will always be higher quality, because it is closer to the source, unless A is lossless of course. This is why you want to encode from either blurays/remuxes or transport streams. Note that Bluray and TS are also lossy encodes, it's just closer to the real source, namely the actual raw video or film the movie was shot on, and it's the best quality source material consumers can get.

What you'd want is to do a scenario like with C, but there's nothing stopping you from doing it the other way. If Source is 40mbit/s, A is 12Mbit/s, and B is 5mbit/s, you will save diskspace, it would just be worse than if you did C at 5mbit/s.

>but where would I find the source files from?
The closest thing to the source you're going to get, apart from breaking into the movie studios and stealing their master copy, is the digital cinema package. (Basically what they give to cinemas)

Expect to pay a 2-3 digit sum for the DCP + the necessary equipment to read it, though.
>>
>>53949185
So it's not orders of magnitude larger then! Only a single order of magnitude, which is not too bad!

You could try using slower encoding settings. From the x265 documentation linked earlier, in the examples, encoding with --preset faster resulted in a compression ratio of 3.11:1, but with --preset veryslow it was 3.76:1. You could be saving hundreds of kbit/s!

Which is hilarious considering how technically simplistic anime is compared to both Western animation and real life film.

How did the job of encoding low-frame-rate moving blobs of crayon-solid-colours become the motivation for bleeding edge video encoding tech is a mystery. You'd think it's the people who are encoding visually complex stuff like real life action films that would be pushing the frontier about encoding tech.

For piracy, full Blurays or remuxes thereof are usually used as the source for encodes. Where to find them is up to you. HDBits has a lot for movies, but I dunno where you can find any for chinese cartoons.

When piracy niggers say "source", they usually mean what they use to encode from, i.e. the bluray.
>>
>>53949323
Notice how normie anime users don't give a shit about quality either, they stream their shitty hardsubbed rips off video websites like youtube.

It's just that video technology seems to exist at some intersection of computer nerds, shut-ins and social outcasts; a group so autistic it could only possible like anime.

Also, remember that fansubbing is basically born from a need to provide something that doesn't exist - high-quality encodes with good subtitles made available to an international audience. The moment people have gotten into fansubbing, they've also gotten into video technology. And one thing leads to another.

>>53949327
Yes, you are right about it being much larger than the source. I just implied it wouldn't bloat it to gigantic proportions, like 200mbit/s.

24mbit/s is actually kinda promising though. If you have animu blurays with 40mbit/s video, it could soon be feasable to release lossless encodes of them. Using slower presets, I think you can gain more compression, and I'd also bet that using a bluray as the source would help a bit because it would have less compression artifacts than a super small encode. Maybe.
