Just wanted to say that I did a 1080p x264 to 1080p x265 conversion today, 10 bit Profile, Tune set to Grain, and using CRF 16 (didn't know how to get any lower).
It came out with a lower bitrate, approx 2Gb smaller than original, but it was pretty damn good, a lot more defined & sharper.
I am going to compare it to the same settings, BUT 1 pass @ 30Mp/s, and see if I can tell the difference.
