FAQs
Why won't my TV or older phone play the video?
The source is likely HEVC (H.265) — iPhone "High Efficiency" and GoPro high modes use it. TVs, projectors, and budget phones from before ~2016 often can't decode it. Converting to H.264 fixes that.
Does converting HEVC to H.264 lose quality?
A second encode adds slight loss, but at "High" quality it's virtually invisible. Expect 30-50% larger files — the price of compatibility.
HEVC or H.264 — which should I use?
HEVC for personal archives on modern devices (saves space); H.264 whenever the playback device is uncertain — it's the universal safe bet.
