Video Format H.265 Is Approved

[VMM]

The source talks about 4K videos, and how H245 would make it easy to transfer it, but honestly,
I never seen a 4K video in my life, neither a 4K TV.

I barely notice difference from 720p videos to 1080p videos, so I ask:
Do we really need 4K videos and televisions?
Unless we're talking about 100 inches and bigger screens, I don't see any need for that.

 

[BORTZ]

Actually... yes.

 

[retKHAAAN]

Actually... yes.

Care to elaborate?

 

[BORTZ]

Well, there is no reason technology is going to stop advancing. 1080p isn't the "BEST" ever, things like video formats and quality is always going to be improving.

It also depends on your viewing distance from the TV. As TVs get high resolutions, it'll require having to sit closer to the TV to be able to discern between the actual resolution and a lower one. A room in a house can only be so big for the average homeowner, so not many people are going to be having huge TVs to take advantage of the higher resolutions.

I agree that is pretty shameful that the screen industry has slowed the increase in resolution (though I have stronger words for their attitudes to laptop screens) but hey- your photo camera is quite likely to be a higher resolution than even 4K and there are also things people have yet to go much in for like putting reasonable amounts of text in videos.

I like the lower bitrate for archival quality encodes.
I do not like that the only currently-available encoder is 75x slower than x264 for the same quality and output filesize.
Bitrate and speed will improve with time; the question is how long.

EDIT: You guys should also keep your eyes peeled for Daala, basically in the same spirit as Dirac vs. H.264.

Unless you're closer than 1 meter to your TV, which is very unlikely when watching TV, you won't see much difference.

I never said they won't, I said I don't see need for this improvement.

Well can you think of reasons not to? screens are going to get clearer, we are going to be able to pack more pixels into smaller spaces, processors will have more cores for crunching larger and more numbers... imagine panoramic tvs or rooms that are a whole movie. To both sides, all around you, behind you... etc. Whats the point of a 1 terabyte flash drive? whats the point of 8 cores, whats the point to progression of technology. It's about the bigger picture.

I want 4k porn NOA

Trouble is even the jump the "HD" caused several studios to have issues and then making their actors and actresses have to have extensive makeup and more, now I can certainly get behind wanting people to look like real people but others seem to have issues with tiny blemishes and whatnot.

Depends entirely on where the makeup is applied...

Have you ever seen HD porn?
Man, it's not good.
I'm not sure if you, or the porn industry will like the 4K format for this.

Professional porn- the true test of wrinkle remover?

your watching the wrong HD porn than

 

[Elrinth]

How can it not be good?

 

[VMM]

your you're watching the wrong HD porn than

There are just few porn videos that are fine in HD,
I keep some, but they are diamonds on the rough.
You rarely will get an HD porn that looks fine,
and that's why porn industry avoided using HD formats for a while.

How can it not be good?

Everything becomes more visible, pimples, cellulite, stretch marks, and more.
