You are wrong.
Now and then I still do some DivX reencodes of hi-quality short (30 minutes maximum) AVC clips which are highly-compressible
(not too sharp and made of low-motion content).
I use a high-bitrate quantization matrix with constant quantizer = 3,
GOP-length = 5 seconds, no B-frames, and so I may get, for example, a 300 MB file (audio included) from a 2 GB AVC source whose GOP-length = 0.5 second.
My storage space is limited and running DivX @ 1920x1080 is faster and simpler than using HEVC, AVC or VC-1,
therefore I choose the easier way whenever I can.
