Conceptually, I suppose we could compile both 8 bit and 16 bit versions of x265 into separate libraries, then create a single executable that would call the right library at run-time, but the executable would be twice as large, and it would take longer and be more difficult to build and maintain. Choosing the right library to use is really a job for application developers. |

x264 has more details at cost of more noise. x265 has more stability in motion. And xvid was clearly inferior to both. Disabling/Enabling post-processing in Xvid oficial decoder doesn't help here. I don't understand people yelling about testing at 500 kbps. What is it? year 2004? 640x272? Even Youtube uses 1 Mbit+ for 720p(VP9/H.264). Also a projection of results from low bitrate to high are generally misleading. Quote:
HE-AACv2@32kbps is better than MP3@32kbps. Though HE-AACv2@128kbps is considerably worse than MP3@128kbps. Same valid for video codecs. One particular H.264 encoder can be better than MPEG2 at low bitrates. But if MPEG2 presererves fine details/grain good enough while one H.264 encoder doesn't do that then the situation can change at high bitrates. Nothing new was said here. Just some simple logic and observations. Last edited by IgorC; 30th June 2014 at 07:58. |

?
At 128kbps, a half-decent HE-AACv2 encoder should switch off PS and SBR, just giving you standard AAC - which beats mp3 at 128kbps. I guess if you force it to use PS, or force it to use SBR at a low-ish frequency, it would sound worse. Back (vaguely) on topic: current broadcast encoders seem to favour the AVC tools in HEVC... http://www.obe.tv/about-us/obe-blog/item/13-a-look-at-the-hevc-encoder-bbc-uhd-world-cup-part-2 Cheers, David. |

Well, I make visual test on psy-rdo and with default setting, I have big local temporal quality flicking (seem not be a spacial quality problem). I make investiquation and psy-rdo seem have big problem on I-P-B frame transition.
For solve that I reduce the ratio quality between frame type ... and I have good result on my sample test. Psy-rdo seem work (on my sample test) even with high value if you choose low ratio quality between frame type. Code:
x265.exe --input hp.yuv --output crf23aq.265 --input-res 720x304 --fps 25 --crf 24 --preset veryslow --aq-mode 2 --aq-strength 1.0 --psy-rd 0.5 --bframes 3 --min-keyint 1 --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --psnr

- HE-AAC at 128 Kbps will be better than mp3 at 128 Kbps and by far if you choose 5.1 channel or 96 Khz source. HE-AAC 5.1 48Khz or HE-AAC 2.0 96Khz will produce better audio experience than equivalent MP3 2.0 48Khz at 128 Kbps and by far ... ;-) - It's the same thing for video. 5 Mbps HEVC at 720x576 will be certainely not really better than 5 Mbps MPEG2 and even perhaps worst is some situation. Anyway 5 Mbps HEVC at 4K will produce uncomparable video experience if you compare at 5 Mbps MPEG2 in all resolution.

Version 1.2 is coming soon™; in the meantime, have v1.1+258-6623f1195baa (most recent stable+default merge) in my MediaFire archive.

Well this time no doubt, x265 outperform x264 even with particular short sample like park_joy_1080p50.y4m. Psy-RDO work very well.

In order: - More temporal stability for x265 and by far - Less mosquito noise for x265 and by far - less blocking for x265 and by far - more high frequency retention (detail) for x265 and by far Mosquito noise and detail retention are not the same thing ... !!!

First frame : http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/82931
EDIT : Although overall movie sizes are the same x264 1st I-frame is 90,534 bytes, avg QP 34 x265 1st I-frame is 47,600 bytes, avg QP 40 Very different decisions... @Sagittaire : what are the encoding parameters? Funny to see how the "banding artefacts" are related to the CTUs. There is definitely something borked with psy-rd reconstruction. Last edited by a5180007; 10th July 2014 at 21:32. |

How about my x264 encode: http://a.pomf.se/onaaol.mkv (ugh.. sry filehost changes file names)
It looks similar to x265 but water is much better. |

Like you can see, x265 high frequency retention is by far better for x265. You say "more detail for x264" and I say "hard mosquito noise for x264" (and I prove that with your screen). When I compare x265 vs x264 encoding I see: - Hard temproral instability for x264 - Major blocking hellfest for x264 - Major Ringing hellfest for x264 For last time MOSQUITO NOISE IS NOT DETAIL RETENTION ... !!!

My eyes are fine. The problem is with your damaged brain. For some odd reason it prefers blured image instead of sharper with higher complexity. I hope they pay you well atleast for your trolling...

Seriousely, In YOUR screen you prefer x264 ... ??? It's Ringing and Blocking hellfest ... lol I can't even see some head on x264 encoding. For you, good detail prevervation must cut the head ... And I use the same frame 100 than your screenshoot. Really easy for me to find other frame with really bad quality for x264 and bad detail preservation.

@Sagittaire: could you please give the encoding parameters.
EDIT : will x265 write the encoding parameters in the SEI like x264 does in a near future? I find it very annoying not to be able to see these parameters when downloading a x265 encoding. @Atak_Snajpera : the x264 image is a Degas painting, the x265 is a Monet painting. Some like Monet, some others prefer Degas. At this level of compression it is impressionism rather than reflecting reality. What is the point of testing at those crf when lower resolutions give better quality? Last edited by a5180007; 10th July 2014 at 21:56. |

at low bitrate both encodes look bad. x264 is at least sharper. Grass , leaves ,water in x265 is noticable less detailed. I imediatelly notice that in motion.

Yes I see that for x265. It's certainely temporal artefact because here the quantification is really high. Anyway I find temporal stability and global quality really better for x265. There are major flicking in x264 encoding for I-P-B frame transition.
