# Why use this command?

Save significant disk space without losing quality by converting to the modern H.265 standard. Ideal for archiving or streaming.

# Parameter Explanation

- `-c:v libx265`: Use the x265 encoder for H.265 compression. - `-crf 28`: Constant Rate Factor. Higher values mean lower quality/smaller size (28 is a balanced default for H.265).
