I haven't done too much in the way of "tuning" x265, and I also don't know what merange runs at, within RipBot...I thought I saw a reference, showing it @ 9, but apparently the "default" setting is 57.

So some testing is on the cards, as I have a LOT to do, and a short time to do it. |
"Motion search range. Default 57
The default is derived from the default CTU size (64) minus the luma interpolation half-length (4) minus maximum subpel distance (2) minus one extra pixel just in case the hex search method is used. If the search range were any larger than this, another CTU row of latency would be required for reference frames."

So for 1080p and lower you might wanna try --ctu 32 --merange 26 if you use preset slow or lower, for UHD just stick with default.
