But quick tech note – libvpx can produce great quality at low bitrates, but it’s CPU-heavy. Anyone else prefer x265 for dark scenes like the tail-section slums? Or is VP9 your go-to for archiving?

I recently revisited Snowpiercer Season 1, Episode 9 (“The Train Demanded Blood”). In the file metadata, I noticed the video stream was encoded using – the software library that powers the VP8 and VP9 video codecs.
