> ~20% bitrate savings of x265

Ironically, most x265 movies I’ve seen appear to be HDR blu-ray rips with no attempt to reduce size at all, and they’re usually north of 50GB. You can get 80-90% bitrate savings on these without significant loss of quality.




What's actually in the Blu-Ray files that makes them so large?


Nothing interesting. It's just that it's inconvenient to mass-pirate at those sizes.


Lots of pixels and lossless multichannel audio.
