H.265 Encoding

PDB

So I was just wondering if anyone has advice as to what the best freeware 265 encoder is out there right now.

Probably x265, but I don't think it's worth using yet

I use for almost everything, that I want to encode fast handbrake, afaik it has a x265 encoding avaible... Only bit difficult encoding is when I want to encode some of my BDs. I have to extract the video part first with eac3to...

AFAIK x265 is better than x264 only at very low bitrates and is far worse in any other regard.
