This is HEVC again, but this time using the MainConcept encoder which should be better than Handbrake.
This Encoder barely bad, smoothing/killing fine grain and encoding latency. Optimize from grain and 40+Mbps datarate. This 16Mbps bitrate too small in 4K. Previous HB versions 60Mbps sample encodes better and great quality.


Used MPC-HC from playing/capture the image. (and very old P4 PC. :S)
Thanks

First of all these are just sample videos. Second of all, the whole point of H.265 is that you don’t need such a high bitrate to achieve the same quality as H.264. The Mainconcept Encoder offers quality rates between 1 and 30 where 30 is the best possible quality (unlike Handbrake where closer to 0 is higher quality). This was encoded at 27. The last 4K H.264 Handbrake encodes were encoded at Placebo quality and were still just 20 MB/S. Thirdly, there is no tuning h.265 for grain or anything else. It’s just not an option.
I considered uploading a ProRes version but I don’t think anybody here really wants to download a 3+ GB file for just 48 seconds of video. And I don’t really want to upload it either. It’s way too early to start worrying about the final encode settings, but don’t worry I’ll make sure the quality is as high is possible.
