That was even true for x264.
It's not really worth the time bringing a 30gb source to 25gb. 
With x265, those videos will come to maybe 18gb and still look good, but you will see the difference to the source.
Using --tune grain, even with a (grain-)sensible preset like medium or fast, you just end up at 25gb again and it won't be closer to the source than slow/no-sao. At least in my experience.  |
Hi
I found your encoding presets in another thread, very interesting.
However after I have taken a look here:
https://mattgadient.com/x264-vs-x265...-vp9-examples/
I am not so sure about x265 as the is quite some detail lost in faces - especially the close up ones if I compare x265 crf to x265.
I know that this comparison is from 2016 but the other one available on that site is newer and there I notice similar changes from x264 to x265
