To be a little fairer you should transcode it to both x264 and x265 so that the outputs are can be compared to each other (rather than comparing the transcoded x265 to the source x264 as you did, which isn't quite the same thing).
- NelsonMinar 9y agoI did that experiment with a file I found online. The source x264 video stream was 1600 MB. My x264 recoding was 290 MB, and the x265 was 80 MB. (There's also a significant savings in ffmpeg recoding the audio, which accounts for the file sizes I reported). In all cases I'm sure my result is lower quality, but still more than acceptable for me watching TV with low expectations.
