I did a transcode from H.264 to H.265 via Handbrake, then tried ffmpeg. Results:
74,903,299 bytes made_via_handbrake.mkv ...beautiful
25,038,616 bytes made_via_ffmpeg.mkv ...a bit of plastic-face -- full output at end
So, I need to tweak ffmpeg's x265 parameters, but how?
How can I relate this output:

with the list of options here: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-codecs.html#Options-30?
There is a clue (I think): "x265 --help"... I stumbled on this:
https://ffmpeg.org/general.html#x265.
On that page is a link to here:
http://x265.org/developers.html.
I took the link but was almost immediately assaulted by a pornographic game.
Oh, dear. Does anyone have a guide to x265 they can share?
