Why does Jow Forums hate YIFY?

>Companies would be a better target audience, but HEVC's patent situation managed to discourage most of them.

Blu-ray uses HEVC for 4K.
Amazon Prime uses HEVC for 4K.
Netflix uses HEVC for 4K.
iTunes store uses HEVC for 4K.

Longer encode times, creates a noticeable painting-like effect, shitty legal situation with no less than three different patent pools, CPU-intensive software decoding and HW decoders aren't as widespread.
It just isn't worth it when h.264 is nearly universally available.

All of them huge companies with armies of lawyers.
Not everyone has the resources to get into legal fights with three (!) different patent pools and countless other patent trolls.

Notice the word "most". 4K is of course one of HEVC's advantages, but that still doesn't make HEVC nearly as widespread as AVC.

My chink cartoons go that low at crf 16

I don't know.
My, x265 slow gets 5.2fps. My x264 veryslow gets 3.2fps. The x265 gives lower size at roughly the same quality.
Dunno mang

I glanced at a few rips. The averages for a 1080p rip:

b:v 2M (x264 of course)
b:a 93-102kbps (2 channels AAC LC)
1080 height is never reached, max 1020, sometimes as low as 800.

I assume 720p rips are unwatchable.

>YIFY uses extremely fast x264 presets
Wouldn't surprise me. Where did you find this info, though?

I have never been on a private tracker but even I can tell that YIFI encodes are shit. I can do better encodes with my GPU encoder lol.

>1080 height is never reached, max 1020, sometimes as low as 800.
That's just with cropped black bars. Most movies are a none 16:9 aspect ratio.

You're right, animation is the exception to the rule.

Whatever happened to aXXo ?
