Trying to find the equivalent settings from h264 to HEVC

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here and I only started to try and encode my own shows over the last month. I first tried Handbrake and while it was good, I felt it could be better, so here I am. Now on to the the problem I'm having that I hope is solvable.

So I'm primarily working with anime and I found an encode that is as close to perfect as I can see. What's more the settings were documented. The problem is these are for encoding in h264 and I'm hoping to take my raw media I own and convert them to HEVC.

Thankfully I realize that the h264 settings aren't a 1:1 comparison to HEVC. However I am hoping that smarter and more experienced individuals could assist me in understanding what these settings are doing in h264 and locating a way to hopefully duplicate them in h265.

Okay so enough yammering here are the h264 settings:

10-bit depth
Encoding settings:

Code:

cabac=1 / ref=16 / deblock=1:-1:-1 / analyse=0x3:0x133 / me=umh / subme=10 / psy=1 / fade_compensate=0.50 / psy_rd=0.93:0.22 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=24 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=18,9 / fast_pskip=0 / chroma_qp_offset=-3 /
[br]threads=4 / lookahead_threads=1 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=0 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=0 / stitchable=1 / constrained_intra=0 / fgo=0 / bframes=8 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=2 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=2 / keyint=480 /
keyint_min=1 / scenecut=60 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=60 / rc=crf / mbtree=1 / crf=15.0000 / qcomp=0.80 / qpmin=20:20:20 / qpmax=40:40:40 / qpstep=4 / ip_ratio=1.25 / aq=3:0.84 / aq-sensitivity=10.00 / aq-factor=1.00:1.00:1.00 / aq2=0 / aq3=0

Any suggestions would be incredibly helpful. Thank you again.
