Not sure, but wouldn't that be a really bad way to try and show a difference? The entire video gets re-encoded by YouTube back to h.264, so there's no way to actually see the H.265 results directly in YouTube. Even if one could, the encoder used to make the videos plays a big part in the comparison. You can have two different encoders make two very different H.265 videos.

Yea I thought about that. Though since they're both re-encoded by YouTube, any discernible difference in picture clarity would still be relevant for comparing them. Yea, theres a bit of a mess with the different licenses for h.265 as well which probably makes it even more complicated. I can't be bothered with h.265 yet, h.264 is great for my needs.
