 correct for both the original bit perfect WEBDL or Blu-ray and

 yet.

 matter it was WEB or Bluray encodings (on every group), the mediainfo
 shows that they were using x265 library on Windows for encoding, no
 mention of ffmpeg/lavf encoder. They either aren't using ffmpeg at all or
 just avoid it for 4K HDR releases because of missing support.

 That it is not how it works, ffmpeg IS USING x265 library as I said. And
 in Mediainfo that is called "Writing library" for a reason.
