Netflix's video encoding is really bad, and the showrunners don't seem to know.
Every Netflix show I've seen in the past year (n=3) has had these crazy panning drone shots of forests in winter, with really high f#'s, graphics of a million particles exploding, shots of ocean waves at dusk... basically, they are shooting video encoding stress tests and then encoding them very poorly. The result looks like dogshit.
- buck746 2y agoThe people making content generally have no idea about video compression. Or they only understand it at a cursory level. It's a safe bet that set designers and decorators have no idea about video compression. Early productions seemed to understand that aspect but that was mostly in the days of 56K modems and ISDN lines. It was a small enough niche that only technical minded people were doing it.
