VLC will play but not convert H265 video

Take a look at this small video from here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3byrwdqn1sd4 ... ZbMga?dl=0 Ch14_20210425013002 - Copy.mp4 (8MB) VLC will play video and audio (h265 format) but will not convert it to h264 (only converts the audio). VLC sees this in the CODEC settings: CODEC: MPEG-H Part2/HEVC (H.265) (hev1) When I use another converter (Adobe Media Encoder), same thing (it only sees the audio) it has this error message: "File uses unsupported video compression type "hev1"." Is it because it should say hevc, not hev1? Any help much appreciated. Glenn Top Lotesdelere Cone MasterCone Master Posts: 10573 Joined: 08 Sep 2006 04:39 Location: Europe

I can reproduce the issue, I'm not sure what is going on here. I got these error messages:

Code: Select all

mp4 error: missing hvcC ... main debug: using encoder module "x264" main error: cannot add a new stream (unsupported while muxing to this format). You can try increasing sout-mux-caching value stream_out_transcode error: cannot add this stream main error: cannot continue streaming due to errors with codec hevc Maybe because of the 2592x1944 size of the video ? Avidemux is converting it fine though. Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the conversion, and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long. Then you should create a new ticket on the VLC Trac with your log file, the link to your sample file and the link to this thread: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Post Reply
