Okay just ordered a 4gb 128 bit gtx 960 video card for 25 bucks from ebay, which is basically the next step up from my current one and supports h265, I’ll let everyone know if it makes a difference.
Just my two cents on the detail level from watching my re-encode, it may not be what some people expect of blurays, but having watched tons of older films on bluray, this is very comparable and in many ways far better than some films I’ve watched. The grain is hardly noticeable for most of the movie, it’s like a comprimise between silver screen and despecialized, minimal grain and plenty of detail and still has the appearance a 70’s film.
