Hi there,

I was wondering if it was possible to force transcoding H265 files to H264 using the profiles.xml file and was wondering how I would go about it? This is not for 4K files, just for HD sized files.

Tried doing a search on here but nothing showed up, so apologies if this question has been asked before and I've missed it.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance

In the Transcoding section of your profile, you could add:

which will achieve what you want (assuming your renderer supports h264 in an mpeg-2 container), if your processor is powerful enough to do this in real time. Question - why transcode to h624? You don't really gain anything and its far more processor intensive than transcoding to mpeg-2?

Thank you so much for your reply DenyAll.

I'm going to assume from your question that MPEG-2 supports high definition? If so then I suppose I don't need to transcode to h624.

I'll try them both using your XML snippet.

Many thanks again. Much appreciated.
