Better visual quality than x264 with much smaller storage requirements. 10-bit Depth:
in gradients (like skies or shadows) and improve compression efficiency. x265 / HEVC: iron man 2 2010 1080p 10bit bluray x265 hevc exclusive
HEVC (x265) achieves ~50–60% bitrate reduction over H.264 (x264) at equivalent perceptual quality. A typical 1080p x264 rip might be 8–12 GB; this 10-bit x265 encode often lands at while retaining more film grain and fine detail. Better visual quality than x264 with much smaller
