I'm confused; I have an 8 and I have High Efficiency selected, but it appears I can take a photo and see it and open it on my work Win7 PC. It's a .jpg file format and seems to work just fine.
The mystery deepends with video: when I do a 4k60 video, MPC-HC is listing it as still using H264 but I thought 4k60 required H265:
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 3840x2160 60fps 90829kbps [V: Core Media Data Handler (h264 high L5.1, yuv420p, 3840x2160, 90829 kb/s)]
Audio: AAC 44100Hz mono 92kbps [A: Core Media Data Handler (aac lc, 44100 Hz, mono, 92 kb/s)]
What am I missing?
- jmreid 9y agoI believe it converts those files to compatible formats when you transfer them off the device. The exception seems to be when you have macOS 10.13 and use Photos, the images and videos stay in HEIF and HEVC.
- brigade 9y agoIn Settings / Photos, there's an option to keep the original hevc/heif when transferring to PC/Mac.
- NamTaf 9y agoPerfect, found that now thank you! A bit weird to have it separate to the option to take in that format, though sort of understandable in a twisted logic since it's to do with the photos app not the camera app.
- Sephr 9y ago4K60 does not require H265, it's just that most H264 chips can't handle realtime 4K60 encoding.
