Hi everyone.
I will be changing my record option from H.265 to H.264 from now on. I have a Windows 10 64 bit PC with Intel Core i7-6700k, EVGA GTX 1070SC, 16GB DDR4 2400 Fury HyperX RAM and a 1TB Samsung Evo 850 SSD. I'm also a YouTuber too who uploads personal and gameplay videos using my Hauppauge HD PVR2 (Xbox One X, Xbox 360) and NVidia Shadowplay (PC).
It's disappointing how H.265 is not widely adopted yet and is not compatible with most devices. Windows Movie Maker and Windows Media Player both can play H.265/HEVC thingy video format. Blackvue advertises "new H.265" so it's not compatible with many things and isn't widely adopted yet.
I use Power Director 16 for editing my videos before putting them up on my YouTube channel. There's an Australian YouTuber who solely does dashcam videos. Power Director 17 launched recently claiming to support playback importing and exporting to H.265 format. However after trying to play one of my H.265 videos from my dash cam, Power Director only shows a black screen during playback of those clips. Yet Windows Movie Maker and Windows Media Player can play them fine. However Windows Movie Maker only produces videos up to 1920x1080 format, not 4k which is what Power Director 16 can do.
I upgraded to Power Director 17 but it can't play the videos. So I contacted their Support and they gave me a LONG (I'm not joking, like a 10,000 word essay of what to do) list of things to do. They offer a 30 day money back guarantee so have asked for a refund of the upgrade and to downgrade back to Power Director 16. Reason why I wanted to try PD17 was cause they said it supports H.265 when it can't on my end. And I have all the up to date software and hardware on my PC.
So it's H.264 format for me with BlackVue 900S. I'll edit my current videos using Windows Movie Maker, then produce it to a format which Power Director accepts. Then edit on Power Director, produce, then upload to YouTube. Power Director has more editing features than Movie Maker which I like to use.
The thing is does Blackvue have an app that lets you change the format from H.265 to H.264 using Blackvue Viewer app for PC if so how. Otherwise yes that's my experience. Tried playing it on my Samsung S9 and HP laptop (has an i5-6200U, model: HP 15'ab222tx white). And the video stutters a lot. But not on my desktop PC which has the i7-6700k processor. Editing software is on my i7-6700k PC.
Does anyone know how long you can record for on extreme mode (4k 25 front 1080p 10~ rear) using H.264? I have a Samsung Pro + Endurance 128GB (119GB is available for use). In H.265 that's enough for 7.5 hours approximately recording. If I record to H.264 using the same settings will I still be able to pull around 6 hours recording on extreme mode for my Blackvue 900S 2-CH setup?
Thanks for reading.
