Richard,

a) what's the actual goal? Reduce file size? reduce bitrate? something else?

b) you _still_ haven't posted the complete and unedited output of any tests. Sometimes there's a small detail that very important (like the version & age).

c) please try Bouke's suggestions and run tests without the filters (yadif & nlmeans). Also with different values of -preset and -cfr and see 'f' below. c1) where did those nlmeans values come from? Are the appropriate for the material? c2) is the yadif filter appropriate for the material (and with the default parameters)?

d) please read-
    https://x265.readthedocs.io/en/master/lossless.html
    https://community.topazlabs.com/t/h265-nvenc-lossless-output/83957
or search for "can x265 compression be lossless" and read some of the various discussions about x265.

e) describe the source material or provide an example.

f) a stackoverflow article contains this command line:
   ffmpeg -i INPUT.mkv -c:v libx265 -preset ultrafast \
      -x265-params lossless=1 OUTPUT.mkv

if you want no-loss encoding, try "-x265-params lossless=0" so there's no ambiguity.

g) ignore Harald, most of us do.

Later,

z!
