This specific encode configuration represents the pinnacle of modern video compression technology, striking a perfect balance between file size and pristine audio-visual quality. Decoding the Format: What the Labels Mean
The movie uses a moody, subdued color palette to emphasize the post-traumatic stress and the bureaucratic pressure Sully faced. The 10bit encoding perfectly manages the film’s dark, moody shadows and muted color tones, reducing grain artifacting that often plagues lower-quality files. The Story Behind the Film
Comparison: x265 10bit vs. x264 8bit vs. Streaming Services
A standard 1080p BluRay of Sully takes up about 25-35 GB. The version you are looking at is likely between 2.5 GB and 6 GB . You are saving 80% of your hard drive space while keeping about 95% of the perceptual visual quality.
To understand why this specific encode is so significant, one must understand how Sully was shot. Clint Eastwood and cinematographer Tom Stern chose to shoot almost the entirety of the film using Arri Alexa IMAX 6.5K digital cameras. Sully was one of the first major Hollywood features to rely so heavily on this high-resolution digital format.

Any modern multi‑core CPU (Intel Core i5 4th gen or AMD FX series) can decode 1080p HEVC 10‑bit in software, but it may use 60‑100% CPU. Laptops may get hot or stutter.
High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), encoded via the open-source x265 library, is the successor to the older AVC/H.264 standard. HEVC provides roughly double the data compression ratio of H.264 at the same level of video quality. This allows the file to maintain pristine visuals at a fraction of the original disc's file size.
A quick technical deep-dive: traditional video is 8-bit, which can create visible "banding" when colors shift subtly (like a sunset). However, 10-bit video has four times the color precision. Even when encoding 8-bit source material, processing it in 10-bit leaves the color data intact, which almost entirely prevents banding from appearing in the final compressed file.
