The use of HEVC for the Blu-ray release of "Intimacy" (2001) provides a more efficient compression of the video content, allowing for a smaller file size while maintaining a good video quality. The 720p resolution is lower than the 1080p or 4K resolutions commonly used for Blu-ray releases, but it still provides a good balance between file size and video quality. The 600mb bitrate is relatively low, but it should still provide a smooth and stable video playback.
