I know it's early days with H.265 but I could save hundreds of gig of storage converting all my videos into H.265. The loss of quality between H.264 and H.264 is hardly noticeable in any of the tests I've done.

I guess I could write my own demuxer and decoder from the RFC's but life is too short and the beer is too good
