What are HONE Encodes? HONE is primarily a little Plex-based Discord community focused entirely on x265 10bit content for efficiency and quality. While most of these encodes come from other very popular x265 encoders, we feel there's still plenty of media missing from the HEVC scene. We've founded HONE encodes to contribute to the cause and give back to the wonderful community here. This is our way of saying thanks!
What's special about HONE encodes? We guarantee that our encodes are universally Plex-friendly, in terms of naming, file-structure, quality, streamability, and efficiency.
Which encoders are part of the HONE crew? Our current encoding roster includes myself (Weasley), PRiCK, and Fox.
What sources are used for HONE encodes? We prefer lossless sources wherever possible. Presently we're not doing any UHD encoding but that may change once we streamline our HD operations.
What settings are used for HONE encodes? They're pretty much the same as any other x265 content you see on here. Typically CRF or a Two-Pass is used with EAC3 audio. We keep bitrates as efficient as possible while also preserving quality. For older titles, we tend to use a slightly higher bitrate to preserve more of the source.
Anything else? We love feedback. Please let us know in the comments what we did great, what we can do better, and what we should stop doing. We're always looking to improve and your input will help us do just that.
Mild-mannered Paul Blart (Kevin James) has always had huge dreams of becoming a State Trooper. Until then, he patrols the local mall as a security guard. With his closely cropped moustache, personal transporter and gung-ho attitude, only Blart seems to take his job seriously. All that changes when a team of thugs raids the mall and takes hostages. Untrained, unarmed and a super-size target, Blart has to become a real cop to save the day.
