First x265 release on P2P networks and VLC 2.1.1 Nightly

Hello everybody !

I just read that the first "big" x265 release have be seen on the P2P forums/sites.
The "DAA" team released : Skyfall.2013.1080p.READ.NFO.BluRay.x265-DAA

Here is the NFO : http://pastebin.com/AB6Q5NLj

Well ... Apparently, the quality/weight ratio is astonishing, the file weight 8 Go with a 6500kbits/s video stream and 1500kbits/s DTS audio stream. From what I saw so far (thanks to the nightly of VLC 2.1.1 which support x265 decoding), it's really bluffing. It seems that H.265 and x265 do allow to have almost a file 50% lighter compared to an x264 encoding at equal quality.

So ... Here is my questions : will Serviio provide an early support of x265 ? Do you think, if ffmpeg can be compiled with a decoding lib of x265, that it could be used with Serviio ?
Maybe someone here already tried ... ?

Thank you for your infos !

I'm not really aware of what Serviio will have to manage/handle with x265 in fact, so ... I thought it would be a relevant question

Besides, I think that people here could be interested by the evolutions or tests of x265 with Serviio.

It could be added possibly. But it'd have to be transcoded to mpeg2 so you'd still lose some quality and the transcoded file would be probably huge

Supposedly the Samsung EK kit for this year already supports x265.........

For the first time am tempted to get this and see if it will play..........
