x265 is an open-source implementation of the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) standard. Compared to older codecs like H.264, x265 can reduce file size by 30–50% while preserving quality. For a 4K HDR release of a 5-hour series, x265 is essential — it balances file size (typically 20–40 GB for the season) against near-lossless quality.

The primary argument for the necessity of this high-fidelity format lies in the visual language of the show. Chernobyl is defined by its oppressive aesthetic—a world of concrete, ash, and invisible death. The 10-bit color depth allows for billions of colors rather than the millions found in standard 8-bit video. This is crucial for rendering the subtle, sickening shifts in the color palette, from the warm, deceptive safety of the control room lights to the cold, blue pallor of the hospital scenes. The "hdr" (High Dynamic Range) specification further amplifies this by expanding the contrast between the darkest blacks and the brightest whites. In the harrowing scenes of the "liquidators" cleaning the roof of the reactor, the blinding white sunlight clashing with the deep shadows of the debris creates a sense of disorientation and exposure that mirrors the invisible threat of radiation.
