Young Sheldon S01 Openh264 [better] Review

If the file doesn't play, your system may be missing H.264 decoders. Installing VLC (which includes its own codecs) solves this immediately.

For the cord-cutting audience, Season 1 encoded in OpenH264 represented the sweet spot of media consumption. It allowed for file sizes small enough to be stored on limited hard drives (often ranging between 150MB to 300MB per 20-minute episode) while retaining enough resolution to be watchable on laptops and tablets. While a 1080p x265 encode might offer superior visual fidelity today, the OpenH264 files of Season 1 remain a historical footprint of the "mobile streaming" revolution. young sheldon s01 openh264
