Should you render in H264 vs H265 for YouTube? In this video I discuss both the render times and video quality on YouTube if you encode videos in H265 compared to H264. While HEVC is generally considered to be the better and more efficient codec, H264 still beats H265 encoded video on YouTube at a resolution of 1080p. At 4K and 1440p, you are better off rendering with H265 - both as its generally faster and because of much better visual quality Timestamps: 00:00 H264 vs H265 for YouTube 00:44 Testing Methods 01:14 H264 vs H265 Render Times 03:45 How to play H265 videos on Windows 04:45 Best codec at 4K 06:23 Best codec at 1440p 07:48 Best codec at 1080p 09:21 Conclusions Thumbnail: https://wallpaper.mob.org/pc/image/sci_fi-galaxy-space-1522297.html 🎵 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound: https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/kro4z5/ 💻 Gaming Setup: https://amzn.to/2E67AUG 📷 Production Gear: https://amzn.to/2VhbShO 📝 Blog: https://techguides.yt 👕 Merchandise: https://teespring.com/stores/tech-guides 🐦 Twitter:https://twitter.com/techguidesyt 📺 Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/speedbre4ker 🎧 Discord: https://discord.gg/tV4JVF2 #H264 #H265 #YouTubeTips
