Updated OCT 2015..
Seems the new version of VLC has fixed a lot of the old bugs and I just installed V2.2.1 and everything works fine.. Both x264/x265 8 and 10 bit modes work.. Using hardware decoding lowers CPU usage by a huge margin and it seems to use far less CPU processing power for playbacks. x265 files are also half the size of x264 encodes so a 1GB Xvid will be between 200-250MB for x265, that is a lot of bandwidth and space saving.

BUT
VLC still has problems with seek and other functions with x265 if it is an MP4 file.. But GOMplayer and MPC seems to work fine... So update yur players to latest versions.. The problem seems to be the container type, Using MP4 seems to cause seek problems with some players while MKV containers work fine. I will be using MKV from now on for all rips.
To fix the MP4 and VLC issues and converting it into mkv format is a 3 step process. Mux the mp4 video with mkvMerge v7.8.0 into an mkv file (it will lack keyframes), then extract raw video and audio streams from this mkv using mkvExtract, now then mux the extracted audio and video streams into another mkv (it will have proper keyframes). Note that remuxing from mkv to another mkv directly will produce the same file with missing keyframes. so you have to extract the streams from the first converted mkv file and then recreate themkv file from the streams. So this seems to be a muxer issue with both MP4 and MKV. Directly extracting streams from the MP4 file with mp4box and such will still lack keyframes and will not work. How strange..
Just letting you know if a file don't work, it is most likely because you don't have a player that works with the new encoders..
Also a note on the differences between x264 and x265 rips.. If you want the unrated versions get the x264 ones, since most of the dvd's are NOT unrated, I had to cut and splice those scenes onto the dvd rips which degrades the quality as there are 3 encodings taking place to get the final file and it looses a little bit on each encode and this is needed to get it to sync up in the audio and video scenes. The x265 rips on the other hand are direct rips of dvd's without all the intermediate encodes so are much better quality even if the files are half the size. I also removed the filters and such I was using to reduce file size so the quality will be better there as well even if it adds 20% to the file size, it is still much smaller. I am still learning and the time to do anything is so much longer that this is a long process. The first rips I made were just similar to x264 encodes but using the x265 encoder, that has changed now. The smaller file size is not required as the default file size says under 500MB in all cases except for the 720p HD versions. Reencoding the old x264 unrated rips is not worth the bother and some of them took upto a week to do.. The only dvd I found which had unrated scenes in it was nakid detective even if the run times are the same, the PAL european and US tv versions are the rated versions and there are a few seconds of differences where they cut off the bottom peeks to the top peeks repeated instead of a cut. There will be a lot of files with such small differences if you know where to look. The x265 will be straight rips instead of fan edits like the x264 rips..
