>it's more advanced compression, not making a shitter videoany time you re-encode a video, it gets worse.
>x265 (also known as HEVC) is pretty much a net positive now that everything supports itfirst off, it's h.265, x265 is the encoder, not the codec.
everything supports it? fuck off retard
https://caniuse.com/?search=h.265https://caniuse.com/?search=h.264not only is browser support shit, but a bunch of platforms don't support it, because it's proprietary dogshit
re-encodes might be fine, but only if you really know what you're doing, and since you don't even know the difference between x265 and h.265, i'd say you don't know what you're doing.
along with not knowing about generation loss or compatability.
half the filesize is just not a thing when re-encoding, h.265 is 30%
all those articles you read about h.265 needing half the bitrate refers to when you're creating a video in h.265 to begin with, compared to h.264
and both of those scenarios refer to cpu encoding, which you're most likely not using, you're probably using gpu / nvenc, which means you get shittier video.
so like i said, fuck off compression reddit fag
give original files so shit can be preserved, instead of your compressed shit that someone will inevitably re-encode in the future to compress even further
tl;dr you don't know what the fuck you're doing, so stop compressing
