I have a Chromecast with Google TV and am very happy with it, primarily using it to watch older TV shows of SD quality (between 480 to 576p) on a TCL 4K TV.
The only reason why I'm considering upgrading to a Shield is due to its highly acclaimed AI upscaling. I don't use Plex or play any games. Will it upscale those videos to at least 1080p or not much difference when it comes to standard definition shows?
Hello everybody!
does it make sense to compress 576p content with H265? Or should I choose H264? Is the image quality in H265 better then in H264 for the same file size? Or does the quality for lower resolutions decrease due to the higher compression? I read somewhere that H265 depicts less detail, but higher resolutions would compensate for that.
The target is of course to get high quality video with low file size. The additional time needed in comparison to H264 isn't important.
Thanks for your help!

The original goosebumps tv show is so hard to get a hold of these days (in good quality). On netflix, episodes are missing, ebay/amazon has only the out of print dvd versions, which are also not good quality. The best way to view the show is the bluray 576p release, but that only ever got released in europe. If you try to buy that version, it will not ship to North america. Torrent links are all but dead. If anyone who has the files for the European release, please share it.
I tried everything and I still cant fix it, any help with something i dont know?
i known the fact that HANDJOB on PTP doing this SD encode, and also QOS on ITS, is there somewhere else or another group where i could find this kind of SD release? i also see some LoRD release on 576p, where is their home trackers for these specific SD release? thanks
I'm updating my collection of old PAL TV shows which are only available in SD and have done a fair bit of DVD ripping myself in the past, but I wondered whether I'd be better off getting Web-DLs rather than DVDRips for these shows. If a show is on Netflix in 540p or a PAL DVD in 576p which is better quality?
PAL DVDs are a bit odd:
- They more often than not use interlacing (sometimes in a way that is difficult to properly deinterlace)
- They are 960x576i which expands to 1024x576 when played, they use non-square pixels
- They use the very dated mpeg2 codec
- They have to be compressed to fit on a DVD so have very specific space requirements
At some point, the original show is transferred to DVD and these restrictions are applied.
Netflix, on the other hand:
- Uses 540p without any non-square pixel shenanigans
- Doesn't have interlacing
- Uses the more modern x264 codec
- Doesn't have any hard space/bitrate requirements
Assuming Netflix gets the original source video from the network who made the show, would the Netflix version be superior in quality to a DVD Rip because it hasn't been interlaced/mpeg2 compressed with non-square pixels?
What a shame.

Just what i said in the title. I just bought a monitor (which im returning) that sounded perfect, but for some reason it has a black screen with any 50hz content via HDMI. I have old consoles that can output hdmi @50hz i want to use, and currently only a terrible 8" monitor with awful colour and no contrast i got cheap on ebay.
Ive already got a 22" that works but is too big for where i want it to go, so im stuck with 8"
Anyone got any ideas? Thanks for reading
I uploaded multiple 576p 25 FPS MP4 videos to YouTube and even after hours, max 360p is showing. I even tried uploading in different formats and bitrates, but it will stay stuck at 360p. I believe it should at least show 480p because that's the closest standard format.
