The x265 codec, also known as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), is the successor to the widely used x264 (AVC) standard. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to compress video data more effectively. For a show as visually dense as The Boys, this technology is a game-changer.
HEVC offers roughly double the data compression ratio of its predecessor at the same level of video quality. This means that a high-definition episode of The Boys S02 that would typically take up several gigabytes in x264 can be reduced to a fraction of that size in x265 without a noticeable loss in clarity.
