Yes, to put it mildly technically. Blacks and dark bits are often the first things quantized to hell in modern codex. They’re one of the areas that the eye is generally least sensitive to. And they will be one of the first things to show if you over compressed too much.

This sentence is hilarious out of context. Is the increased size entirely do to bitrate needed to carry all those fine details or is lack of color depth (?) A big factor as well? Like are there generally fewer shades of grade or is it just that they don’t update fast enough to be clear because of the lower bitrate?
