What package on osmc allows us to convert H265 video to H264

Help and Support
1

I am using latest osmc June 2015 release on Pi 2. I have realised that h265 videos don’t play smoothly on pi 2.

But I have plenty of h265 videos on Pi.
Is there a way to play H265 video as low quality directly or perhaps a way to convert it to h264 first and then play it ? If so what package should I install on osmc to convert them to h264 or lower ?

Thanks,
Ahmed

x265 if i got this right will never be supported for rpi

so you have to convert it with a traditional video encoding software like handbrake or something else

have fun :smile:

Though h265 is superior to h264, better quality with small size, currently it’s not well compatible with some programs yet. Just use some 3rd party software below to transcode to h264.

I use iDealshare VideoGo to convert H.265 to H.264 or convert H.264 to H.265

Here is the easy guide H.265 Converter - Convert MP4, AVI, MKV to H.265 on Mac Yosemite /PC

In fact, it can batch convert between various video and audio formats.
