x264 is a free, open‑source software library for encoding video streams into the H.264/MPEG‑4 AVC format. It is the most widely used codec for high‑definition video because it offers an excellent balance between compression efficiency and visual fidelity. Compared to older codecs like Xvid or DivX, x264 can reduce file size by up to 50% while preserving the same perceptual quality. In , the x264 encoding likely uses a moderate to high bitrate (perhaps 8‑12 Mbps) to retain the film’s grain structure and dark, shadow‑heavy scenes without visible artifacts like banding or blockiness.

That’s a font encoding issue. In VLC, go to Tools → Preferences → Subtitles → Default encoding → select Western European (Windows-1252) or UTF-8 . Or change the subtitle font to Arial. PROMETHEUS.-2012-.1080P.X264.NL.SUBBED.BRADJE.mkv
