The x265 coder is documented here:

Very well explained here:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.265#Ratecontrolmodes

I usually use CRF (as with libx264).

How can I reduce compression with libx265? Is 'preset' the way? Is 'tune' the 
way. There's not only
no documentation for them, there's not even an indication of parameter type or 
range (or even if
they take parameters -- the lack of documentation is shameful).

The relation to presets is also explained.

Hi Moritz,

And thanks so much. If you could see me, you'd see my big smile. That stuff at the end of those links could be the documentation for HandBrake! (which also has little documentation). ...The HandBrake folks insist that HB is not an ffmpeg frontend... It is to laugh.

You know, it would be really helpful if someone would simply put those links in the ffmpeg coder documentation for libx264 & libx265.

Kindly thank whomever wrote that stuff.

...Next day...
I submitted this command line:

ffmpeg -i IN.M2TS -vf "telecine=pattern=5555,bwdif=mode=send_frame" -c:v libx265 -crf 20 -preset slow -c:a copy -c:s copy OUT.MKV

and paused this message and went to bed.

...Today (right now) I'm viewing OUT.MKV. It is the most awesome transcode I've ever seen. The 5-5-5-5 telecine works as I'd hoped it would, as I knew it would. It is the first ffmpeg success I've had.

Thank you all for your help. Joy, joy, joy.

Ciao,
Mark.
