The Secret Sauce: The Command Line
- File size reduction: X265 encoding can significantly reduce file sizes, making it easier to store and share large video files.
- Improved compression efficiency: X265 offers better compression efficiency than X264, resulting in smaller file sizes without sacrificing video quality.
- Future-proofing: As X265 becomes increasingly widely supported, encoding your video files using this standard ensures they remain compatible with future devices and media players.

- A DTS-HD MA track is ~3GB. An AAC track is ~300MB.
- By saving 2.7GB on audio, they could lower the video CRF (better video quality) while keeping total size under 3GB.
- For 99% of users with soundbars or TV speakers, AAC 5.1 is indistinguishable from DTS.
