Unlike an action movie (e.g., Avengers ), Young Sheldon features long static shots of dialogue—Sheldon explaining physics at a whiteboard, Mary praying, Missy rolling her eyes. x265 excels at these static scenes, keeping the background sharp while saving massive space.

Switching to the encode is a no-brainer for collectors. You save space, you maintain quality, and you keep your library tidy.
