Not really. The story — Douglas Henshall as DI Jimmy Perez solving a complex island mystery — is unchanged. OpenH264 is just a technical detail. However, if you’re archiving or re-encoding, it’s worth knowing that x264 (another H.264 encoder) often yields better quality at the same bitrate than OpenH264. OpenH264 shines in low-latency or real-time encoding, not necessarily high-efficiency storage.
