HVC1 Support for H265

Hello,

Hanwha directed me here regarding an H.265 codec issue with our cameras.

When downloading H.265 video, the files are tagged with the hev1 Codec ID. However, Apple natively supports hvc1 instead.

Is there a setting in the configuration we can change to output hvc1, or will we need to remux the video files on our end?

Thanks,

Andy

  Hi Andy,

  Thanks for your question.

   

  At the moment, yes, it requires you to re-tag the hvc1 on the file via external tool, ex: FFMPEG.

  ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy -tag:v hvc1 output.mp4

   

  We have not yet offered this configuration.

  Thanks.
