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?

I personally prefer 720p x264 for movies and SD for shows. I have have rpis and use jellfin web too so x264 plays better with them.

For a few select items ill get better quality at 1080p but these are trying times and disk prices are just going up.
