Low-light footage is the enemy of video compression. Grain and darkness cause "blocking" (macroblocking) and "banding" (visible gradients in the sky or shadows). X265, with its 10-bit color depth encoding, handles these gradients far better than 8-bit X264.

If you have downloaded Sick.2022.2160p.UHD.BluRay.X265-B0MBARDiERS.mkv , you are not just watching a movie about a killer in a pandemic.

If the B0MBARDiERS group used proper settings (e.g., --crf 16 --no-sao ), this 4.5 GB to 12 GB file should look nearly indistinguishable from the original $40 USD Blu-ray disc. If they botched the settings, the dark scenes will look like a mosaic of grey lego bricks. We must address the elephant in the room. You did not find this file on Amazon Prime Video or at Best Buy. You found it on a torrent indexer, a Usenet provider, or a direct download forum. Low-light footage is the enemy of video compression
