Yeah, I know. I don't need low file size or bitrate or anything. If retail 1080p Blu-ray discs come with MPEG2 streams at 20-30 Mb/s and they look the way they look, I would assume a 1360x768 source should do fine with a worse, but more lightweight algorithm than H.264.

Yeah, problem is my card is a GTX 980, so no support for 4:4:4 H.265 here, except on the CPU, which would be too intensive.
What features of H.264 should I disable to reduce its complexity? Or, better said, what are the most complex features of H.264 a high bitrate video would not exactly need (excluding QP)?
