i feel like most media-hording is still 10 years behind the times.<p>x265 has been around, and it's savings are frequently >>2x at 1080p and grow from there as you increase resolution. this tech was kind of a trend for a couple years, but honestly, things have gone backwards on most torrent sites & other locations- it's gotten less elite, less compressed, been more mass-pirate-market rather than elite-pirate-market. much to everyone's colossal disadvantage.<p>and there's yet another sea change afoot. av1 could easily offer >2x gain, again, in compression ratios, especially at 1080p or above. it's just amazing. we could stash so much more stuff. we could peer so much more effectively. it's just big players- it's just netflix and google- who bother to get good. the underbelly of diy'ers and p2p'ers remains vested in un-elite technology, in crap lower-common-denominator technology. what a pity, for them. hording is, imo, a valiant & great effort, noble. but most hording is done poorly, with bad technology, that is heavily & sadly dated. the scene needs to up it's damned standards & stop pegging itself as loserly low levels of technology, stop being pathetic.
