i understand that there was supposely a little problem in the early stages of x265 with sao integration. but is this still a thing or is everybody just blindly turning off sao?
SAO still blurs too much so many people disable it if they want to retain as much details as possible. However, at very low bitrates where other artifacts are more visible/present, the blur of SAO produces "better looking" images than an encode without it
