As of today, October 2, 2016, Handbrake does not ship with a good preset for HEVC/x265/h.265. I've been experimenting and found some settings that allow for general compatibility, excellent (but not transparent) video and audio quality, and of course, very small resulting file sizes. This Handbrake HEVC preset is great for storing media on a Plex server (where Plex can transcode to any devices that are too old for HEVC support, or don't have the proprietary license, like a Chromebook). Make sure to enable Intel QuickSync for a big performance boost.
