Doubling down on the misinformation, I see. H.265 is a high-efficiency codec, or in other words a better compression standard. Not a static compression level. This is why when you convert media there’s an input for quality, even when using HEVC. And you can absolutely stream the same Dolby Vision profile as a Blu-ray with single track double layer.

You’re still conflating digital medium with streaming services.

i am more than well aware of all of this. nothing i said is misinformation. same algorithm, different settings. the primary means by which you reduce bitrate with h.265 is by reducing the quality setting. there is no magical way to cut your bitrate by 75% using the same compression algorithm without sacrificing quality.

  Literally everything you said previously is misinformation except for Blu-ray being encoded with h.265, and I’ve already explained why.
  
  So I guess you need another 20 years, sorry.
  
  no commercial streaming service is offering video at the same quality level as a 4k blu-ray.
  
  What does that have to do with digital media?
  
  This is also demonstrably untrue if you take 5 seconds to research self-hosted streaming services.
  
  few streaming boxes even support dolby vision profile 7, and no commercial streaming service offers it
  
  Plex on Nvidia Shield. EZPZ.

  I never said anything in contradiction to this. I don’t know who you’re shadow-boxing.

    OK i see the problem. you’re hung up on the fact that i said “streaming” without specifying commercial streaming services.
    
    however, my context should have been made clear by the fact that i was talking about ripping blu-rays to my fucking NAS.

    i’m saying “you don’t get the same quality from streaming services as a blu ray”. does that make you happier?
    
    Yup, words matter. I’m not saying this to be snarky or pedantic, I just don’t want anyone to think that they’re getting something inherently inferior if they want to go digital.
