I agree (in principle).  Doing a Google search for "hevc 13818" reveals that there is a document out there somewhere named
	"ISO/IEC 13818-1:2013/FDAmd 3. Transport of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) video over MPEG-2 systems."
I presume that is where the official definition will be.  However, I was unable to find a copy of this document.  You folks may have better luck.

In any case, because VLC didn't assume any stream_type definition for H.265 beforehand, there's probably no harm in assuming 0x24 for now.  Should you find out later that that definition was wrong, you can change it later.
