H265?
 

how many of you guys are using H265 codec? any links to videos?

thanks :thumbsup

Not using it yet, but it will be vital when moving to 4k streaming... :2 cents:

Anyone else going to the NAB Show in Las Vegas in April?

too early

im surprised no h265 porn yet, oh well its early days

I have played around with it and it is great. Will be a major codec. But not yet. It has not been adopted by many players so it is too early to use it.

Adobe Flash supports H264 encoder in plugin for live cams only since late 2011, even had played it since more years. Cheap multimedia box players (to play torrent files on TV...) did not supported H264 (or Mkv) before of 2011-2012 too.

So H.265 HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) may need lots of years before it is really supported where it needs to be, even if you can test it today in some way. Note that H.265 is also heavier on the CPU (like 3-4 times h264) to obtain double compression. In the Adobe forums they say they not plan H265 support soon, and ask to "vote" for its support, while informeds poster noted the need for too powerful CPUs or new hardware.

In fact really phones and pc video cards include H264 hardware decoders which help (or you would not play with CPU only), but these chips, does NOT help for H265, so we'll need to have all the current hardware replaced with new ones (new phones, tablets, PC video cards - no matter you updated software, needs new chips)... so new hardware mass market, to hope in H265 massmarket play support.

Also there's Google VP9 / WebM (royalty free). Google is Youtube and Android... and convinced lots of hardware guys to support VP9 in chips: ARM, Intel, Nvidia. Hardware support is the key, Google may pushg VP9 in chips sooner than they support H265, it depends on politics too. Apple will not support VP9 in hardware just because is Google's...

until theres a cross platform media player theres no point in H.265 I love the idea of MPEG DASH as well but no media player like jwplayer that supports it is killing an idea that would massively help stop piracy

What kind of pc a customer would need to watch 4k smoothly btw ?

its the bees knees of codecs. cross compatible with most players to retain quality.

well, until the chip is in consumer devices, it's not really surprising!

Depends by the video card mostly, it is the GPU who plays, not much the CPU. Now the beta players uses just CPU, since GPUs do not support, and framerate is dieing.

Getting better smaller stronger and faster
