Subject: [PATCH] Increase H264/H265 bitrate multipliers to improve image
 quality

- H265: Increase base multiplier from 1.5x to 2.0x (33% more bitrate)
- H264: Increase base multiplier from 2.0x to 2.5x (25% more bitrate)
- Also adjusted high-bitrate decay factors proportionally
- At 1080p Balanced quality: H265 now uses ~2777 kbps (was 2084)
- Fixes issue where H265 had worse quality than VP8 software codec
