H265 vs H264 video codec test

**Be sure you are viewing the video at the 1080 setting.** 1080p video samples compressed to 1mbps using h.265 and h.264 to compare quality. The low bit rate was used to show how much clearer the h265 version looks. Using h.265 can allow you to use about 1/2 the bit rate of h.264 which means smaller file sizes for storage and uploading. The one drawback to h.265 is that it takes much longer when exporting the file from the video editor.

I switched to .265 at the same "Default Quality / Filesize" auto bit rate, on my computer the render time is a little longer, not too bad. I suppose I'll have to quantify the difference sometime. However that slightly longer rendering time is more than made up for by a much shorter processing time from YouTube's end after uploading.

I think upload it in H.65 can even become worse quality if you uploded in YT as H.265 also use bigger blocks than H.264 and YT go also convert the video in a other file wen it, s be uploaded

h264 creo que ya es hora de abandonarlo es un festival del pixel, h265 es mucho mejor y mas dentro de un año con h266. en todo caso se vienen mejores codec de compresión.
