H.265 halves bitrate, keeps quality the same

[rudrax]

So why they do it with Xvid instead of H.264 for DVDrips?

The known reasons are:

1. The DVD players people use still don't support H.264. I believe they are age old ones.
2. Scene recently (6 months ago?) switched to x264 from XviD. The delay was because of the above reason. The scene took almost 9 years after the first release of H.264 to make actual use of it due to this.
3. Because of reason one, people were really pissed off when scene decided to make a rule for using H.264 instead of XviD.

Now, if scene has totally banned XviD (like DivX is banned from scene releases) or not, or have kept it optional or are these people just P2P, something I am not sure (the scene rules are too long to read :P ).

Ah man, they are sacrificing better quality in lower size just for some orthodox mentality.

Looks like I was wrong. They switched a year ago. :)
