I am pretty sure the SJ8 plus default with H.264 so he probably messed too much with settings and changed that to H.265, which is strange cuz really my friend don't mess much with anything, which are a eternal frustration of mine, cuz then i have to go do it, and many things i just figured out myself by messing around so no remembering how to do it again, for instance his new Nokia phone i also had to help with.Įven the things that truly interest him, well not really so much he nerd out on the stuff like we do when we find something interesting. I will give it one more try during the weekend ( look like we Danes might finally get a little snow this winter ) if not i will put his 300 mbit fiber connection to use and DL handbrake or something to convert the few files he have accidentally recorded using H.265.

What confuse me is my friends computer ( which by the way do have the latest K-lite codec pack installed ), will play the files just fine, it just wont edit them using pinnacle even with a tag in the ' use 3 party codecs' box. Yeah i know we could convert the video files to something pinnacle would work with, and i will probably have to do that on my next visit to my friends house.īut pinnacle should work just fine with H.265. Still dont get how our computers can playback the footage just fine just pinnacle that 'choke' on it, i would have assumed the codec for playback was the same as for editing. I did change my friends SJ 8 to H.264 so he should not have that problem again, but still he have some recordings he would like to mix up and export. Still strange though, cuz both of us have the codec pack installed and i assume H.265 was covered by that. I think the Mobius MAXI can do H.265 too so i will go retrieve that in my car shortly and give it a go now that i have installed that fix.

I know my computer ( pinnacle studio ) have worked with H.265 files just fine before, but the few test files i had with me home from my friends house, well i moved them off my phone, found they dident work and then deleted them and emptied trash bin before i found that 'FIX' To fix the issue, you can install the HEVC video extension from the Microsoft Store: The HEVC video extension is not included in Windows 10 Creators (was included in previous releases of Windows 10).' 'You might experience issues playing MPEG-4 (MP4) files encoded in the HEVC (H.265) format if you are using the Windows 10 Creators Update.

I found this but have not heard back from my friend if he have tried it. No after researching a little more i think it is due to the 'latest' windows update.
