The x264 encoder is an open-source library for encoding H.264/AVC video. It revolutionized digital media sharing because it offered:
For Meet Joe Black, an x264 encode preserves Lubezki’s cinematography—the soft focus, candlelit dinners, and golden-hour exteriors—without excessive banding or macroblocking. The film’s many dissolve transitions and smoke-filled frames (the coffee shop scene with Death and the Jamaican woman) are torture tests for codecs; a well-tuned x264 720p encode handles them admirably.
Media mogul William Parrish (Anthony Hopkins) is nearing his 65th birthday when he is visited by Death, who has taken the form of a young man (Brad Pitt). Death strikes a deal: Parrish will guide Death through human life in exchange for a few extra days. Complications arise when Death, calling himself “Joe Black,” falls for Parrish’s daughter, Susan (Claire Forlani).
