- Resolution: Full 1920x1080 (no cropping of the intended 1.78:1 aspect ratio).
- Bitrate: Likely 4-8 Mbps (compared to the original Blu-ray’s 25-32 Mbps). Do not let the low number fool you—HEVC is remarkably efficient.

- Key Scene Test: Play Chapter 4 of Episode 105 (Vanessa’s exorcism flashback). In a good x265 encode, the candle flames will flicker without pixelation, the shadow on Vanessa’s face will gradient smoothly, and the white of her shift will show no macroblocking.
