Thank you! Have been recording my grandson's taekwondo classes with a Galaxy S8 phone and used Clipchamp to edit the videos. Upgraded my phone to a Galaxy S24 and the videos would take 20 minutes to load in Clipchamp. The cause was the S24 used H.265. After changing the phone settings, still had H.265 formatted videos. Found your video and it was the easiest one for me to understand. Had to go through one extra step as when I tried to execute Handbrake, my Window's 10 system informed me that I had to update to a new ".net core", but the message included the link. Back up and running with Clipchamp.

Huge thanks for solving my video editing problems in less than 5 minutes! Forget internet searches and hours of research trying to work out the problem. Great and useful video!

You just came in clutch man, Sony home theatres are known for not supporting x265 video codec. Thanks a lot. 🥂

Should you shoot 5K, 4k or 2.7 in HVEC 265 if you want to create the very best footage and then convert to 264 or just go ahead and shoot in 1440, 1080 and have a more usable way to share your videos? It seems difficult to share good quality to Facebook, YouTube is somewhat better. I have a chance to be in some beautiful place in the U.S and looking for advice for shooting outdoor video on a Hero 9. If a 5k or 4k video is converted, do you still have the same viewing quality or does it reduce it?

very helpful, but have a question, i dropped a folder into the program, and its only converting the first file, how do i get it to do the entire folder? i know it will take some time, but it stops after the first file. thanks in advance

I got version 1.5.1 and it did convert my x265 file to mkv which did not play on my samsung tv. Nor was it recognized. That left me with 2 more choices so I tried the web and same played. So I tried mp4 and that worked but nothing tells me that any of these files are x264 format. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to convert the x265 to 3 formats to see which one works?

[metsu]

the output i get is overexposed, how to fix please

What's a "Northern" Viking? Is there a confusion with Southern Vikings?

This was the absolute most helpful video I’ve found for this issue! Thank you so much

All of my HEVC/265 videos (rips) won't play via QuickTime on any Mac OS, even though they are in mp4 format.

When I use VLC, or watch via Plex, the contrast and color shifts to a blue/green tint.

Converting them to various 264 formats does not fix the issue. Any ideas?

TIA.

Hi Thank you very helpful. Just I loose the slomotion. iPhone 8plus video clip 1080p 240fps. How can I keep the slo-mo 240fps. Many thanks

[diabulusclown]

I love you so much! I'd been trying for hours to make it work with VLC but no format seemed to work. You saved me a lot of hours of work. Thank you thank you thank you!

Would handbrake be used with GeForce RTX 3xxxx to covert 10bit hevc to 10 bit 4:4:4. The Nividia cards left out the 4:2:2 off the decoder. Do not have intel cpu with igpu (quick sync). Newer cameras are going to hevc h.265

[abhishekdabral]

Thanks brother for solving the problem, however one question is how to convert imax video for which are constantly changing aspect ratio and don't lose the video aspect ratio in it.

Thanks for the video however I find more often than not the conversion to 264 gets about 1/2 way through then the PC locks up, blue screen and reboots. It's very frustrating.

Thank you ken, but does it work for 5k videos? I recently got the GoPro hero 9
