[FFmpeg-user] QUESTION ABOUT VIDEO CODECS : LIBX264 vs LIBX265

[Hervé ANSELME]

Hi all,

I have a question about re-encoding a source video having libx264 video codec.

Is there any advantage(s) to re-encode with the libx265, which is supposed to give better result than libx264 ?

In other words, re-encoding with the x265 codec for the final video : can it improve the final video quality, compared to the source video, when the source video is encoded with x264 ?

Thanks for your answers.

Regards,
HA
