They don’t care about quality, they care about cutting costs and keeping subscribers. That’s why they employ experts and why some even invent their own codecs and custom hardware to go with it.

Regardless, I’d bet anything that you are not able to reencode blurays to 15mbps without substantial quality loss.

It’s crazy how confident you are about something you’ve never done.

Yes, I’ve gotten transparent encodes with 15mbps. Lots of people have.

If you don’t believe me, go to the AV1 subreddit and ask “can you get a transparent encode with only 15mbps”. Or just go read up on svt-av1 and av1an and do it yourself.
