Comment (by compn):

 i dont believe h265 is a codec that should be used with avi. so i'd say
 this bug is invalid.

 x264/h264 likewise should not be used in the avi container format.

 there is some information here on why h264 in avi container is bad and
 should not be used.
 https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/381188-is-H264-on-AVI-a-hack

 h265 uses many of the other codec technologies that h264 uses. which makes
 using the avi container for these codecs improper.
