X265 high vs main tier??

YaBoyShredderson · 6th February 2021, 20:38

In x264/H.264(AVC) high offers better quality than main, as far as i know anyway. Is the same true for x265? I ask as in staxrip i have to select an encoder level to use the high tier of that level. Selecting level 4 still uses main though? Im thinking at this point that its only a tag, like level, and doesnt actually affect quality as long i stay in range of the level/tier? Like it will only increase quality if i exceed the maximum bitrate of, say, level 4 main, and cross into level 4 high? I dont know if i explained that right but anyway. Is high tier better than main in x265?
