An is a video file encoded using the x265 open-source library, which implements the H.265 / HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) standard. The term “RIP” usually means the video was extracted/compressed from a source (e.g., a Blu-ray, web stream, or 4K UHD disc) and re-encoded into a smaller file size, often for sharing or archiving.
If you have a data cap from your ISP or use a VPN, smaller files mean faster downloads and less bandwidth throttling.
: x265 provides significantly better compression than its predecessor, x264 (H.264). This allows for much smaller file sizes without a noticeable loss in quality. Ideal for 4K/UHD
Video encoding is the process of taking raw footage and compressing it. Video decoding is the process of playing it back. x265 makes decoding slightly harder (you need a newer TV or phone), but it makes encoding difficult.
