What CRF for 4K video?

  • Hello,

    On my family videos from camcorder i used for years FHD/50p h.264 and CRF17. It was recommended it is save and i can not recognize different between original and export. It is true.

    Now i bought Pixel 8pro and i can take video in 4K/60p h.265. What CRF set for such videos?

    And what more, there is way to have HDR with larger gamut. What CRF set for such videos?

    I want the highest quality possible, but I don’t want to waste too much space. CRF17 is for me ok. I never cared about space on HDD for this videos. But by time now I have over 1200 these home videos and it takes 1TB(h.264). I started think about h.265 and h.266. I never send my videos to others people. I watch it only on 27in 2K monitor.

    What CRF for FHD/50p videos with h.265 or h.266?

    What CRF for 4K/60p videos with h.266?

    What CRF for 4K/60p HDR h.266 video?

    Please keep in mind that I am a fan of CRF 17 quality for FHD/50p H.264 videos. I never used CRF 16 or CRF 18. CRF 16 is indistinguishable from the original and just wastes space. CRF 18 - I have a bad feeling that there’s a small chance of losing some details. I know I’m not alone in this! 😆😆

    Thank you
