  • I’m going to say this as nicely as possible, you’ve been taken in. You may think it is good at this because it appears to be and it relays information with confidence. Sometimes it even gets things entirely correct. But it is not good at these things and will often get things wrong. Important details are inaccurate or even entirely made up. It does not vet sources, and it could never do so because it does not understand anything it is relaying to you. It is a tool designed to give you a more or less visual approximation of what you requested, but it can never truly understand what it’s talking about so it is entirely unreliable.

    You’re being downvoted because you bought the snake oil and are now trying to promote it to other people.













  • Don’t, unless your library is entirely in UHD/4K you’re going to seriously hurt quality by compressing with h265. And it won’t be that big if a difference in size. And if you ignore that advice at least don’t recompress it from already compressed sources. There are lots of h265 files made from high quality sources out there you should download to replace them instead.
