Thanks for the tests!

OK. I will change the default value then. I hope other TV brands need the same setting!

It's not really surprising. FS is usually not well supported by modern TVs (but can be mandatory for some old material).

Normally, when you change a setting in the menu, it is automatically remembered from session to session. (However, if you change a setting in a tab, and if Save Tab Settings on Exit is off, you have to manually save them with Save Tab Settings Now.)

I don't think so. And I don't need a specific test for h265+TAB. If your material works fine for h264+TAB and h265+SBS, it will certainly work well for h265+TAB. So, do that test only if YOU are interested in its result.

I suppose so, yes. At least, on my 4-core machine, all cores are working at 95-100% during the encoding. However, I'm not specialist of x264 and x265. If you want a better answer, post this question in the x264 or x265 forum.

Note also that if you buy a new computer witrh a modern Intel CPU, you will benefit of the hardware acceleration of the Intel MVC decoder, used by the avisynth script during the encoding to build the two views that will be encoded by x265 or x265. The benefit is not immense, but it exists.
