x266 and VVenC are not the same. Both are implementations of H266 (VVT) encoding algorithm, but from different "manufacturers". VVenC/VVdeC is from Fraunhoffer Institute, and is available only as a source code for now. x266 is from MulticoreWare and its 1.0 release is planned to H2 2023.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Thank you for the information. It sounds good. I am very excited.
