[Craig Seeman] “I’m not quite sure what you mean by that.”

Craig,

I’ve been using x264 for years and the .mp4 encodes work great on my website and for Youtube uploads. For the time being, H.265 may be overkill for my needs. I haven’t done a lick of testing yet, but may want/need to in the near future.

[Craig Seeman] “If you find H.264 slow to encode now, imagine something at least twice as slow.”
I’ve never actually thought of it as slow, it just is what it is. But twice as long might be annoyingly slow.

Craig, did you ever see my question for you in the Wirecast forum?

I haven’t picked up one of the BM Mini Recorders yet, but I have since found it comes with software which may be what you were referring to in the original review you posted.

Thanks,
Dave

It certainly will be for some time. My hunch is that’ll change in about two years though.

I’ll check the Wirecast forum. I’ve been a bit inundated these days (Wirecast 5 beta tester amongst other things).

Thanks for the reply in the other forum, I then replied with (yet) another question. I just watched a Larry Jordan video on H.265 at Youtube. It sounds like it’s not quite in usage yet. Maybe the next Compressor 5 or MPEG Streamclip will have it as an option?
