- x265 (HEVC): This is the encoder used to compress the massive Blu-ray (approx 25-30GB) down to a manageable size (typically 8-12GB for WiKi). x265 is superior to the older x264 because it preserves detail at lower bitrates.
- 10bit (10-bit depth): Do not confuse this with HDR. This is a 10-bit color gradient encode. Standard videos use 8-bit, which allows for 256 shades of red. Mars Express has scenes where the sky shifts from crimson to orange. In an 8-bit encode, you see "color banding"—ugly horizontal stripes in the gradient. A 10-bit encode uses 1,024 shades per channel. For an animated film with flat colors and subtle lighting, 10bit is mandatory. It eliminates banding entirely.
The x265 codec allows for a smaller file size compared to traditional x264 encodes while maintaining (or improving) detail retention, especially in the film’s sharp line work. DTS Audio: x265 (HEVC): This is the encoder used to
