Thanks a lot!
I did recently an encode to test the advancements so far in x265. Honestly, I'm very disappointed when it comes to retaining detail (and a bit of noise).

The same encode done with x264 looks far and I repeat FAR better than the one done with x265.

I usually know what I do when configuring the options, but I wasn't able to match the quality of the x264 encode thus far.

So I'd say it'll probably take 1-2 years for x265 to come on par with x264
