BL Quick Tips | H.265 (HEVC) vs H.264 (AVC): Which is Better for 4K Video?

[@BrendanEvan]

I’ve been exporting to H.264 like a chump for the last year.

[@jrod8574]

I cannot understand how people cant see the quality difference in HEVC over h.264. It's like they're just blind or refuse to see the quality difference.

[@MrMovieMan941]

They are blind!!!

[@FAT8893]

It depends on so many factors such as bitrate. Plus, not all media player supports HVEC.

[@КемБыть-ъ5к]

Thx for new info. How do you think how long would it take for H.265 to remove H.264 from the market? At least for youtube.

There is a Big problem with HEVC files regarding importing them into the editing software. As far as I know Adobe Premiere still do not accept the 4K files (Ie. HEVC or H.265) from a Canon XF705.

Ruud Voest doesn't even take h.265 files off of iPhone and it's annoying because you have to convert

[@Rufinoman]

Thanks for the explanation. It's amazing how long it's taken editing software suites to include HEVC as a compatible format. Even now, I sometimes have to convert videos back to AVC and the subsequent loss of fidelity. Mind you, KZbin doesn't help much either.

i want to convert 4k UHD 10bit hevc h.265 4.2.2 23.9fps -- to-- 4k UHD 10 bit h264 4.2.2 23.9fps ...... i dont want to suffer any reduction in 10bit depth or change from the 4.2.2 in the conversion. will davinci resolve studio do that for me? and if not what software do i need? im also working on pc not mac.

Lol

[@krystofmikule8507]

Hi, I have a question. Does it give any better more quality if i shoot into h.265 and render it as h.264 as if shot in h.264 in the first place? Is there any difference in that case? Thanks

[@TheGrandHistorians]

Lol
