[High Efficiency Video Coding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Efficiency_Video_Coding) or H.265 is the likely successor to [H.264](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC), which is the format currently output by `transcode-video`. HandBrake has supported H.265 ever since it included the [x265 video encoder](http://x265.org/).

My ratecontrol system can't be applied with the current version of the x265 encoder in HandBrake because it doesn't allow access to `qpmax`, critical for maintaining quality in certain situations. I'll consider adding support once the [fix for `qpmax` support in x265](https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265/issues/232/add-option-to-specify-qpmax) is available in an official HandBrake release.

But support also requires equivalent quality at a smaller size when using my rate control system. And performance is an issue. While speed continues to improve, the x265 encoder is still considerably slower than the current H.264 system.

In the meantime, I recommend using the `--small` option to reduce output size. As a bonus, it's also faster.

The original AC-3 format is limited to 5.1 audio channels. This means that any 7.1 channel audio track, typically available on Blu-ray Discs, needs to be downmixed during transcoding. The advantage to Enhanced AC-3 is that it can support up to 13.1 audio channels, so no downmixing is necessary.
