How are those 300MB – 400MB x264 files so small?
March 8th, 2014
Just a quick question here. Over the years I always downloaded xvid films and you could expect your average film to be around 700-800mb.
However, in the past couple of years I’ve noticed the emergence of 300-400mb versions labelled as x264 files.
Can anybody explain to me how their file sizes seem to be roughly halfed while also seemingly (correct me if I’m wrong) being higher in resolution?
Thanks.
the movies that are 300mb – 400mb has lower video bitrates…
so the video has smaller sizes…
Lower bit-rate and small original video size…
For example a normal 720P mkv file would be roughly 3000 kbp/s whereas the 300mb rip would be 500 kbp/s and a small video size.
Hope this helps, if it answers your question, edit the title and put [Solved] at the beginning.
The x264 encoder is newer and much more efficient than the Xvid codec allowing encoders to achieve better quality results at lower bitrates. However, don’t make the mistake of thinking that resolution = quality. It doesn’t. All resolution refers to is the size of the frame – in fact, the larger the resolution used, the more over-compressed the film will look at low bitrates.
Lower bit-rate, if you make it to small (in the size) the sound and video won’t go synchronous
So thats why it is between 300-400mb, if this helped please put ‘[SOLVED]’ in the topic
i don’t know that but love 300mb-400mb movies
[SOLVED]

I hope that will answer your questions
Good luck
