"Problem is, hevc produces lower quality at same size" (o_O) This is just as wrong and absurd as saying Mont Blanc is taller than Mount Everest.
Anybody with healthy eyes can easily see that a (for example) 900MB movie in HEVC has much better quality compared to a 900MB AVC version of that same movie.
That goes without saying. Mega accounts are based on email address provided. So one can have even 10 Mega accounts just if they have 10 different email addresses.
I disagree. x265 encoder has come long enough to beat x264 imo..the problem is the preset is not really optimize for best quality..so newcomers easily complained it being shit quality. You need manually hack the options like when x264 in its early days
In the real world, nothing that you said matters. It's up to the individual to decide what's good or good enough for them. I watch hevc on my huge screen all the time. I can't tell if something is hevc or 264 unless I check the file.
As for what level of fine detail you need in your anime and how much money it's worth to you, that's for you to decide for yourself.
Problem is, hevc produces lower quality at same size, much less lower size. Hence why only shitty encoders or re-encode groups use it at this time for general consumption. HEVC by it's own nature applies degraining to help with compression which destroys fine details. To prevent it from doing this as much requires various setting tweaks that slows x265 encoding to a crawl and thus totally not worth it. HEVC as such has quite a ways to go before it'll be on-par with AVC in terms of quality at same size.
...the point of 12-bit video and hevc format for a 720p anime?...
As to 12-bit color, hevc runs into banding problems with 8-bit if the goal of the encode is a small file size. So it needs at least 10-bit to avoid the banding problem. I don't know why the Nyaa re-encoder I believe you're thinking of uses 12-bit.
As to hevc, the point is the file size. Hevc is designed to produce equivalent video quality to h264 at about half the file size. You can judge the success for yourself by comparing a 720p hevc to a 2Xmb 720p h264. Compare for clarity, smoothness of motion, color, artifacts such as blocking or banding, etc. and decide what works for you.
Of course, if file size or bandwidth is no issue for you, there's no reason to use hevc.
Virtually, none. HEVC was made for next generation with UHD BDs in mind. You won't see it become a consumer standard for at least a decade (going by how long it took for others that come before it).
Thank for that link. I didnt know about 300fps and bit rate up to GB/s a long with 8K. But still, h264 is what all buyable Blu-ray anime is released in.
BTW, why tf do crap cards like GTX 960 and 750ti V2 have full hevc support, yet a my GTX 760, GTX 970, and GTX 690 do not have full hevc support... or so I've read somewhere...
Your right. Im just obsessed with screenshots. I have been since I was a kid.
I feel a screenshot is like a beautiful moment frozen in time... ready to be printed on top quality photo paper.
If I could find a better photo studio here in my city, I would pay for a print-book in lather hard cover with my favorite Clockwork screenshots. You know.
I have news!
Im gonna find the best anime screenshot site and make a gallery there! I will need to explore much, to find a anime screenshots site that is more orientated on content quality rather than count. My screenshots are above wallpaper quality (open them in irfan view and see "image info").
