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?

I've been using x265 exclusively for all my media needs, except on the rare occasions where only x264 was available.

I prefer 265 for efficiency BUT there's a certain nostalgic warmth with 264 over-compressed fuzz. Same deal as with vinyl records. It was such an improvement on xvid back in the day....

x265 for 4k hdr
x264 for 1080

The one most browsers supports.

I’m a bit of a layman in regard to video codecs, what’s the actual difference?

I'm on the same opinion as you, I'm super sad we lost all HEVC encodes just for 1 and 2 GB for a movie is amazing, and it is 1080p which is perfectly enough. There is nothing which will replace that for a while, I can imagine.
