Following on from the previous email, here are results of some testing.

The files are 1080p videos from youtube

1) mortal engines movie trailer  (youtube.com/watch?v=IRsFc2gguEg)
2) polar movie trailer           (youtube.com/watch?v=oMHwRal-AR8)
3) solo  movie trailer           (youtube.com/watch?v=XRRNxIZfjHA)

All ratio are normalized taking x265 2.8+74-fd517ae68f93 as base
x265 3.0 is version 3.0_RC+10-42b51d791a34

x265 2.8 is from
https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/releases/ffmpeg-release-amd64-static.tar.xz
x265 3.0 is from
https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-git-amd64-static.tar.xz

all videos were encoded with 1.77 aspect ratio, i.e 424x240,
640x360,854x480 from the 1080p source videos

--preset faster --crf 28 was used in all cases.
