>>282035254
>muh old cpu cant handle it
My old phone doesn't have hardware support for neither 265 nor AV1, but with AV1 I can compress episodes into ridiculously small files before getting noticeable artifacts, so software decoding eats much less battery and doesn't stutter unlike with 265. Granted, re-encode is done on my beefy PC.

>>282037274

>>282035254
I'm pretty sure poorfags are the ones trying to download entire seasons of anime for 1gb because storage problems.

Can my busted old ass GTX 970 handle a little bit of av1 anime? Is it over?

>>282035254
So you enjoy watching shows with low bitrate? Enjoy the fat pixels then I guess. I'll keep using x264 to have better quality.
AV1 is a codec for streaming, not for video playback. It's actually so ass, why are you trying to push it?

>>282039132
A shit encode is a shit encode regardless of the codec used

I still don't understand x264 and x265

>>282035777
4 years isn't old, come back with at least 20 more years under it.

>>282039395
They're encoders for the H.264 and H.265 video codecs. H.265 gives better compression efficiency, meaning smaller bitrate while retaining quality, which results in smaller file sizes
H.264 is more universal and playback requires less power so it's still used for legacy support, but at this point any device made in the last 10 years should have no issue playing H.265 videos

Isn't this a problem of encoders being huge lazy faggots coming up with these meme formats? You can do good encodes with not such a heavy size with some effort, but encoders just want to do things faster and easier, is not a quality or storage problem.

>>282040085
Kinda? It's cool to see sub-100mb episodes in the horizon but it's also pretty useless when storage is plentyful and cheap.
In any case, it's mostly software so no reason to hold back encoder development while cheap hardware can handle it.
I watch anime in a 120 dollar piclone, and it can handle av1 at 2x, so I imagine it should be good for until Av2 becomes mainstream in 2100.

Needs to deal with crime and cartels everywhere, gov is literally ran by druglords. Might get killed or robbed by some retard on a motorcycle just doing a driveby daily. Has to be americas and chinas cuck for the drug trade. Almost everywhere is a slum, food is insanely dirty and could kill you. Can barely afford to live or get an education, only hopes are to maybe smuggle themselves to america where they might get raped, robbed or killed in the process. Being pablo is truly hell.

>>282043709
When doing it in software, your video stream is read and interpreted by a program running on your CPU. If you're decoding in hardware, the data stream is sent to a section of the GPU that directly reads and interprets it, but is unable to do anything else.
The upside to this is that a hardware design can be a lot faster than any program, the downside is that it's stuck doing anything it was able to at design time. If a codec released after your GPU hit the market, it's never gonna be supported, because support is part of the chip itself. with CPUs, you can always write a decoding program, you just need the CPU to be powerful enough for it to at least decode in real time.

Fun fact: In the past, video decoding cards were dedicated devices, so it wasn't rare to have a graphics card, a 3D accelerator card and a video decoder card. Nowadays, these three are all part of the GPU

>>282044110
Man, I wish I had a 5090. I don't even like to play games, but this encoding shit fascinates me.

might as well ask here,im organizing my old external HDD with stuff from all the way back from 2012
I've been replacing old encodes for new stuff, all I care is that it is 1080p and takes less space, and obviously doesnt stutter, dunno why so much drama, at that point when you care that much might as well buy the BDs

So I take that im not doing it wrong with HEVC and some Opus stuff then

>>282044175

>>282044157
My 5080 running the NVIDIA encoding protocol gets like 200fps in Handbrake encoding to 10-bit AV1 with ~20% utilization.

I don't even know how to get it to use more, it's probably throttled by my 9900K

>>282035254
Still not sure if AV1 is better than x265, but x264 has no reason to exist in current year.

>>282044241
>Delete that 2012 ANOTHER rip
well duh, What im trying is to make space
I might've to delete old JAV tho

I just hate that everything now has dual language, and english and no subs is set by default

>>282044157
You don't need to go that far, encoding/decoding performs the same on any GPU from the same generation, because they reuse the same display adapter (Handles video output) and video decoder designs on all chips. Any extra money you pay is for a better 3D accelerator (Games) or Neural Processor (AI), as well as extra VRAM

>>282043486

>>282044332
MPV allows you to set a default language and subtitle set, I'm sure others do too

Use handbrake to flip the subs, fold the English dub down to a meme format, and fold the video into a modern codec.

>>282044486
talking about anime releases is as /a/ as /a/ gets.

the entire reason why you even know about anime's existence outside of japan is because some weeaboo traveled to japan on a work visa, ripped the interlaced mpeg2 broadcast directly from his hotel tv box, overlaid shitty subtitles using his N5 nipponese, and then uploaded it as a torrent

Works fine with audio most of the time, but release groups put the sub tracks in a seemingly random order so using an slang setting is pointless as you will be manually changing it anyways.

You can try any other video editing tool for these then, even online ones and see if it works there. With ffmpeg though at least you'd be much more certain that if you get an error the issue would be from the video's data itself and not from whatever program you're using

After extensive screenshotting and comparing of individual frames:
- x264 gives most texture detail but is also artifact prone
- x265 gives almost as good detail with less artifacts and smaller size
- AV1 gives impressive stills but absolute smear in motion, unsuitable for content with action, rain or noise used for artistic effect. Additionally, has laggy seeking. Efficient for some old shows with simple graphics.

For Hibike Euphonium I determined x265 release to be better option due to better clarity in rain episode.

Garbage reencodes I guess, maybe the original encode was well optimized and then they slapped some ultrafast preset or too low CRF on the x265 encode or something. This should definitely not be common though, most x265 encodes I see are much smaller than their x264 equivalents for the same content

>>282047631
I've thought about that for years but I haven't bothered with it since just dropping files onto my HTPC has been good enough for stuff I watch weekly and then archiving the stuff I liked to my offline backup NAS.

>you just need the CPU to be powerful enough for it to at least decode in real time.
The other benefit of doftware decoding is there can exist mulyiple different decoders and they can all improve over time, meaning struggling CPUs may eventually be able to comfortably handle a previously unreasonable load.

>>282042401
There's some weird licensing issues with H.265 that basically killed mass adoption, so maybe there's some subconscious bias to avoid it since "nobody uses it." Generally, H.264 just works and is familiar and reliable. If AV1 catches on more, then we may see more torrents defaulting to that, same with H.266 when that's more complete.
>.mkv
That's just a container format to store different audio and video codecs, along with other data like tracks/chapters and substitles and stuff. It's better in almost every way over .mp4 as a container format, except that its versatility makes it hard for web programmers to support it in browsers and stuff, so it is stuck being for local play (most of the time).

>>282042401
thats the point of the thread its so retarded and makes no sense. x265 or H idk why they keep changing the word hevc.
any phone or pc can run x265 but still av1 is better, more so for encoding speed/quality.

my guess its some retarded dick measuring contest that measures who has the smallest dick by uploading the worst encoding the fastest instead of uploading something thats good.
when it comes to 2 hour movies it can take a day to encode but a sloppy static anime of 20minutes its like an hour at most.

>>282040532
why would i stream a x264 at 480p from some anime website to get even worse quality just to be interrupted by ads???

>>282043693
av1 handles static images better, less blocks its better for anime.
if im downloading a 4k movie id prefer hevc but 1080p animes dont need that much quality.
but no one is doing 1fps pixel perfect passes for a whole week of a single episode just to have near master quality hevc

but in that regard 4k movies at 50gb probably better to use x256 or vvc

this extend to general rips too. why is new shows like foundation or peacemaker sloppy bitstarved x265 at 400mb AV quality would be better with av1 at that size

>>282044157

>>282044268
That's the max your video encoder section of the gpu can use. If you could get a breakdown for each section of the GPU core you would see the video encoder is at 100% when you use it.

For those who absolutely need AV1 decoding on the cheap, and can network your current drives, just get an inexpensive AndroidTV/GoogleTV box with AV1 hardware support and use something like MXPlayer to watch it off your network share.
If you're in the USA, the $20 Onn box at Walmart will do the job, although the $30 Onn 4k Plus box is worth the difference.

>Why the fuck is crunchyroll still using H264?
Because back when H265 released, the people behind it hiked up their licensing fees, and every company told them "Fuck off, we're not paying this" except for Apple. This lead to the creation of VP9, (Which AV1 is a successor to); Now, the issue with this is that Apple products supported H264 and H265, but Android and Windows supported H264 and VP9 (Windows technically supports H265, but it's a paid add-on you need to buy from the MS store), so in order to be able to support iToddlers, Wintards and Anjeets, Crunchyroll (And pretty much any company offering streamed video) just encodes everything as H264 (Except for YouTube, they have enough people watching video that the bandwith savings make it more than enough to re-encode every video as H264, VP9 and AV1 (No H265, because again, licensing fees))

Vlc is the better player, when using Dxva you can use hvec even at resolution at 2k (1440p) (my 2014 macbook pro can do this on windows).
Hardware playback uses almost no power and no gpu/cpu usage. x265 is available on nvinda cards back from 2013, if you have a modern driver for the said card (4 years I think).
x265 is better at its job compared to Av1, and its also more wide spread for compatible, Av1 is not dont let people >>282058262

Tl;dr use x265 when you can, use x264 if you have to, avoid Av1 like the plague,

By now, AV1 software decoding is incredibly well optimized, even my 14 years old Sandy Bridge i5 can play back 1080p anime encodes just fine, even 4K24 Youtube talking heads shit works. Just make sure your playback software is up-to-date and includes an up-to-date version of dav1d (the AV1 software decoder).

The trouble is hevc and to an even greater extent av1 exist not to deliver quality that exceeds avc, they exist to behave better when you bit starve them.
If you aren't netflix and your usecase isn't 'let me blur this because it makes it 30MB smaller which is going to save me a petabyte in bandwidth costs when a billion people stream it' then these codecs don't make much sense.

AV1 would be good for 4chan though. Since 4MB webms are all starved.

4K BD and everything else 4K or HDR, but almost all anime ist neither.

>>282062875
If you know what parameters to tweak, x265 is at least as good as x264 and almost always better. And if you're encoding in 10bit like almost all anime encoders, H.265 10bit has far more widespread hardware support too. Realistically x264 should only be used for H.264 8bit encodes to support playback on ancient hardware, otherwise just git gud and learn x265.

Congratulations.

Nice remux by the way. Where on disc hevc can be just as bloated as it needs to be to deliver results better than avc.

>>282056157
Mp4? Do you mean Mpeg-4, the encoder? Or h.264? .Mp4 is like .Zip or .Mov. You have different streams in a container for your file. you can extract a h.254 stream from mov and create a .mp4 file with said stream, this of this as a way to have a losses encode, but rather its just a repackage, as their is no encode taking place.

>>282063669
>The trouble is hevc and to an even greater extent av1 exist not to deliver quality that exceeds avc, they exist to behave better when you bit starve them.
That's not inherent to H.265 and AV1 as standards, it's a problem of encoder implementations. x264 has really good psychovisual optimizations. x265 gets fucked by its poor SAO implementation and defaults optimized for HDR, it's good if you disable SAO entirely and change Adaptive Quantization mode to 3 or 1 (and maybe slightly tweak some other settings like aq-strength and psy-rd[oq]). aomenc and SVT-AV1 suck, but forks like SVT-AV1-PSY have improved the situation, maybe they'll get there in the future.
