Zoom in x200

Left: 720p x264 --> 0.25 GB

Right: 1080p x265 --> 1.11 GB

I tested watching both on my phone:

  • Without zoom, I didn’t notice much difference in visuals.
  • The audio is stronger at the same level on the x265 version.
  • I need +15 volume level (Android) to make the x264 sound equal.

What do you think, guys? Is it worth 4 times the file size?

      Thanks for the correction - bunch of numbers in my head and I grabbed the first one, haha.

      I have pages of notes about how to convert different types of videos with accompanying scripts for ffmpeg, so I don’t really have to think about it anymore.
