Only $799 with kit lense and most of the NX1 capabilities.”“The H.265 codec and its lack of compatibility with the Apple ecosystem is one of the primary reasons I selected the Panasonic GH4 over the Samsung NX1 for 4k video. I've read that many people expect Apple to implement H.265 in its video applications sooner rather than later because H.265 is the codec used for Face time already; however, I did not want to deal with the trans coding hassles in the interim. Also, just because Apple embraces a codec for one medium does not mean that they will embrace it for another.”iMovie is a Mac OS X or iOS based video editing software application created by Apple Inc. iMovie supports multiple video formats and allows you to create projects that are tailored to your specific video format. You can use the following formats in iMovie: DV, HDV, AVCHD, Apple Intermediate Codec, Apple Animation Codec, Motion JPEG/A, iFrame, H.264, some, but not all, varieties of MP4, MOV.

As the newest codec and with features of smaller size and higher quality, H.265/HEVC has become more and more popular in our video codec area. What brought to us was the related questions. What's the true meaning of H.265/HEVC? How could we convert, edit or play H.265/HEVC videos? Is there any best methods provided for us to handle the H.265 encode and decode workflow well?
Q1: What is H.265/HEVC?High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the latest generation video compression standard developed by the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group and ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group, through their Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding. HEVC is also known as ISO/IEC 23008-2 MPEG-H Part 2 and ITU-T H.265. HEVC provides superior video quality and up to twice the data compression as the previous standard (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC). HEVC can support 8K Ultra High Definition video, with a picture size up to 8192×4320 pixels.Q2: What’s the difference between H.265 and the previous standard H.264?H.264 has been a huge success. It’s a flexible codec standard that’s used by streaming services, satellite providers, and for Blu-ray discs. It’s scaled remarkably well since it was first proposed and is capable of handling 3D, 48-60 fps encodes, and even 4K. The Blu-ray disc standard doesn’t currently include provisions for some of these technologies, but the H.264 codec itself is capable of handling them.However, while it can handle these types of encodes, it can’t do so while simultaneously keeping file sizes low. A new standard is necessary to push file/stream sizes back down while driving next-generation adoption, and that’s where H.265 comes in. It’s designed to utilize substantially less bandwidth thanks to advanced encoding techniques and a more sophisticated encode/decode model.Q3: How to encode/decode H.265/HEVC to MKV, MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV on Mac Yosemite?After testing countless freeware and commercial software, considering the ease of use and lossless quality, we would recommend Pavtube Video Converter for Mac to you which is an all-in-one H.265 Converter.
