As clear as I remember, x264 used to have all the same blames: slow, blurry, banding/blocking, motion artifacts... It took years to mature, not over a single night.

It shall be same for x265, which is mostly a brand new encoder whose internal logic has changed almost completely. Do not expect miracles out of it to be an immediate, all-round upgrade for x264.

I'm always emphasizing that currently we prefer x264 over x265, NOT because x265 is poor, but x264 is just incredibly good. Do you blame Korean/Japanese/Singaporean table tennis players for their losing to Chinese in competitions? If you ever compare x265 to all other encoders like Adobe H264, Quicktime, libvpx... You'll realize that it's far outstanding.

Thanks again for all the great work of the developers; keep it up.
