Because H.265 is more "compressed," it requires more processing power to "unfold" or play back. To enjoy The Voice Season 8 smoothly:
Before you rush to grab "The.Voice.US.S08.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.265," a word of caution: Plex direct play is your friend; transcoding is your enemy. If you are still using a Fire Stick 2nd Gen or an older Roku, these 10-bit x265 files will choke. They will buffer. They will transcode down to 480p and your CPU will scream for mercy. You need hardware that supports HEVC Main10 decoding (Apple TV 4K, Nvidia Shield, iPhone 8 or later, or a PC with a 7th-gen Intel CPU or newer). If your server is a Raspberry Pi 3, stick to x264. If you have a modern client, this x265 pack is butter.
