Happy to try that out, but it'll be 2-pass 5mbps to match the other encodes for comparison. I should have perhaps reserved two or three posts so I could add them all in one continuous go, or maybe create a new thread with five post reserved due to the post image limit. Not sure if moderators would be happy with that.

One of the two x265 encodes is default --tune grain (with a couple of modifications such as deblock -3/-3, but nothing major) and the other is Ben Waggoner's suggestion higher up the thread.
