I'm currently in the process of re-downloading everything on x265 because of the smaller files sizes. Whats do you guys think? Also has anybody experience with Tdarr?

HEVC 10 bit in order to reduce banding for animation, especially during dark scenes. I know H264 Hi10 exists, but it has poor hardware support, so using HEVC 10 bit is the best option (I don't own a single streaming device that supports HW accelerated Hi10, besides my PC). Also, an added benefit is reduced file size. I find that doing my own encodes is very rarely worth it, but when I do, I use FFmpeg in the CLI and not tdarr.

Banding is that annoying color gradient you see sometimes in dark scenes.

Example

On the left is 8 bit and on the right is 10 bit.
