> 5 or 6 GB for a 1080p movie instead of a nice lean 1GB HEVC file
Woah there, HEVC and VP9 are not that good. Both are 25-30% better than h264. See Netflix's benchmarks. We're talking 4gb vs 6gb
A 1gb movie will always look like crap, even with an even better codec like AV1. Pause the movie during an action sequence or explosion and it'll look like you're watching the video on YouTube with all the compression artifacts that entails.
