The 4K visuals in our Headphone Dust MKV files use the HEVC (H.265) codec at bitrates far higher than YouTube or Netflix. This means the quality looks fantastic, close to what you would see on a 4K Blu-ray disc. We encode into H.265 using very slow encoding presets directly from Apple ProRes HQ files for maximum quality.

Bitrate Purity: Netflix 4K usually streams at 15–20 Mbps. Our files often peak at 60–80 Mbps. This extra data prevents "macro-blocking" (pixelated squares) in dark scenes and preserves the fine grain of film.

No Buffering Drops: Because the file is played locally from your drive, the quality never "dips" or gets blurry because of an internet slowdown. You are seeing the highest possible resolution from the first frame to the last. If you use Infuse Pro on Apple devices, you can stream the files from cloud storage, and Infuse Pro's decoding actually does a brilliant job of eliminating buffering drops and quality degradation (provided you have a high speed internet connection!).
