??? tip "Avoid using the x264/x265 Custom Format - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"
Avoid using the x264/x265 Custom Format with a score if possible, it's smarter to use the [720/1080p no x265](/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#x265-7201080p){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} Custom Format.
Avoid using the x264/x265 Custom Format with a score if possible, it's smarter to use the [{{ sonarr['cf']['x265-hd']['name'] }}](/Sonarr/Sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#x265-hd){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} Custom Format.
Something like 95% of video files are x264 and have much better direct play support. If you have more than a of couple users, you will notice much more transcoding.
Use x265 only for 4k releases and the [x265 HD](/Sonarr/Sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/#x265-hd){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} makes sure you still get the x265 releases.
