Hi,
I’ve had a nosey through previous posts but could find anything that answered my question. If I’ve overlooked something, please point me in the right direction.
Question… Does the use of DLOG-M require the H.265 codec?
(I’ll be honest now and say that I’ve not switched my M2P on since Lockdown V2 or 3 or whatever it is now, otherwise I guess I could figure this out myself. I’ve been scouring the internet this afternoon, but have not stumbled upon an answer.).
Sorry, for being lazy…

Dude,
Can you send me a really short DLOG-M HEVC H.265 video clip?
I googled for a sample DLOG-M file, downloaded it, but I can’t see anything in the file properties to suggest that that the file is genuine.
If I look at file properties on the stuff I’ve filmed with my M2P, non DLOG - the ‘Encoded by’ data is blank.
I’m asking as I use Filmora 9. According to Stewarts factsheet in his recent video…
…Filmora X supports H.265. My downloaded H.265 sample refuses to load in Filmora X. Video editor feature comparison here…

I’ve downloaded Filmora X, and just need a ‘pucka’ DLOG-M file to test. I asked Stewart, and he said it works fine.

Bugger!
I can open that file in Windows Media Player - it’s jerky, but it plays, suggesting that I have the H.265 codec (I do, I installed it).
No dice with Filmora X.
Cheers for that Steve, very useful!

There’s a codec you can install for Windows Media Player that makes H.265 run like a dream … in that player only.
I’ll rummage.

I just got this one from the Microsoft store 66p lol
Why waste money when it’s free …
Windows 10 supports video files encoded with High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), also known as H.265 video. However, Microsoft charges for its official codecs and doesn’t include them in Windows 10. You can get them for free without busting out the...

Dude,
Don’t go to any trouble on that front. My biggest issue is not being able to get that file into Filmora X.
Is there a utility that will reveal meta data re. video file encoding?

I’m on windows 7 (I know - my bad).

Davinci Resolve accepts them … but my old laptop struggles with DR using them, like most old laptops/PCs do with H.265.
Ned it might worth Google before all the trouble… is it worth using 265 over 264, its a very mixed community.
I’ve personally not noticed any difference.

I know mate… sorry, It’s more a question about why Filmora X won’y load H.265 - and wanting to test it with a proper H.265 file.
I don’t mind my laptop struggling. I’m quite fond of Filmora, and I’m getting conflicting information about what it can handle… grrrrr

I’m 100% sure that you are right… I’d still like to play with it though.

I get that, I was the same. Its one of those it can do it so I’ll use it
I sure back when I used filmora 9 I played with 265’s can’t be 100% sure though.
Either that or that’s the reason I switched to davinci

Neither Filmora 9 or 10 will play nicely with H.265. I’m making a massive assumption that Filmora 9/X is reliant on installed codecs. The fact that I can play your H.265 file with Windows Media Player suggests that…
I’ve got a codec, a bit clunky mind, that can play it and
Filmora 9/X is just not interested.

Mine was clunky … until I installed that codec.
It still is clunky in VLC. (Or was when last I tried.)
