Resolution and Codec Refresh

I would like to make a request:

1. Please refresh the catalog (I know it will take a while, sorry) to update the files you offer to use the x265 codec.  It's more efficient and can bring us higher quality with smaller file sizes.  I'm a bit of a Rifftrax-aholic, and have 449 of your shorts/films in my own library, and I'm trying to organize it in a local Plex server so that I can create playlists and stuff, and every Megabyte helps.
2. Refresh the resolution options for 480p, 720p, and 1080p.  As much as some miss Zune (those were the days), we no longer need a Zune or iPad option, really.  If we can have options for mp4 in 720p and 1080p in x265, that would be amazing.  And with a lot of your stuff being B&W, those shorts and movies would be much smaller and easier to manage.
3. Please continue rolling out subtitles for the catalog.  It's really helpful so that we can understand some riffs we might miss or misunderstand.

Thank you for all your hard work.  We all really appreciate it, and MST3K and Rifftrax have gotten us through some pretty serious days and made boring days a lot less boring.
