does apple quicktime support h.265 on the mac I've been editing a video and just finished it and encoded it from h.264 to h.265 but when I play it back on quicktime it doesn't go through any suggestions
Mac Pro, iOS 5
CCurious what you used to create the H.265 file and what framework it's in.
HandBreak has a nightly build that has H.265 encoding. This encoding doesn't playback on a Mac for some reason... not even in VLC. DivX has a H.265 encoder that will playback in either the DivX Player or VLC.
best to my knowledge, in the Apple-ecosphere h.265 is actually and officially only avail in cellular use of FaceTime using two iPhone 6 ....

Nightly?

@Karsten: That's my understanding too.
@David: How are you using the output from the divx software?

Thanks. Version 0.10 is an update to version 0.9.9. That's weird numbering.

You mean like 10.10 is an update of 10.9.5? 😁
Indeed, weird numbering. I guess Apple never anticipated it would last this long. The numbering scheme really should have been Mac OS X v1. You would now have arrived at OS X (having dropped the Mac), OS X v10. The whole 10.0, 10.1 always seemed strange when you pronounced the X as ten, so the correct name when spoken was Mac O S ten ten point nine point five, which looks as dumb as it sounds.

… on this site of the pond, the European Broadcasters have agreed to use h.265 as standard for UHD- and arial/terrestial HDTV- (here called 'DBVT') distribution. So, a professional video-edit.app should sooner or later be able to encode in h.265.....
That's an assumption, no rumor, which is verboten here at ASC… 😝
H.265 codec is still a new one to use. And the files codec in H.265 can't be played in quicktime or VLC. I have tried that, becuase those two media players just can't decode this H.265/HEVC correctly. So maybe you have to wait or back to H.264
Curious too. My DVD ripping tool just updated to support H.265 MP4 outputting. It seems h.265 will give a better video quality than h.264, but still no sure whether to change to h.265 right now...
Here are a couple of linked articles, updating the status of H.265 rollout.

Not at all weird. Simply put, 10 is greater than 9.
Like 10.10.3 is more recent than 10.9.5. It is quite logical and pretty standard numbering for software releases.
Use VLC 3.0 Beta. It'll support playing H.265. http://nightlies.videolan.org/ for that version.
h.265 for quicktime
