Hi, I'm new here, and I know this has been debated before, but I'm hereby asking Adobe to include the H.264 and H265 formats. There is quite simply no reason why they shouldn't support them and many reasons why they should. I can't believe that this is still an issue.

It wont be as simple as you believe.

Maybe they have to buy and negotiate a deal with the rights owners before they can "use" it

Then of course it requires time and effort to build it into Adobe applications.

Why is it an "issue" with you anyway?

It is most likely very simple, like it is with virtually all codex.

Neglectible of course.

I basically agree with the others voicing criticism of this. It is a popular and useful format and stuff. It isn't essential, but you could say that about many formats that ARE supported. I quite simply want it to be available if I decide that I do need to use it. It isn't and shouldn't be a mystery.

I'm curious as to whether there will be some sort of hardware change on the player end, or whether this is a "streaming only" solution. I'm assuming the big vid companies want discs of some kind....
Certainly there is a precedent along the lines of AVCHD, my first Blu-Ray player could not play those files from the disc, but there was no retrofit possible for the installed base of players.

Well, let's see. I can probably tell you approximately when the change will occur with some accuracy.

You see, I don't own a standalone BD player just yet. (My PC has one.)

I meant to buy one, but I don't really have a need so I keep putting it off. I never rent DVDs so I haven't even set up the SD DVD player in the new house yet. I figured I would buy one about two weeks before the new models are announced. Then I will buy a 4K TV just before they drop 50% in price as the new 5K models are announced.

So watch these forums. When I buy a new BD player, the change will come right after. It reminds me of when I bought my 28.8 modem and the industry settled on a different format for 28.8 the next week. So minwe was OK, but not great.

I used to buy state-of-the-art. I have stopped doing that. My real intention is to buy the latest and greatest again, one of these days, but that is unlikely in the near future.

Too bad that didn't work when you "bought" Creative Cloud.

"10bit 4:4:4 video will be a breeze to record and store with H.265 and in the future consumers will be recording hours of 10bit 4:4:4 to one 64GB SD card as easily as current point and shoot cameras delivery mushy 8bit AVCHD'

I'm looking forward to that. But I'm curious how we'll encode for BD delivery. Players can send out up to 12 bit with Deep Color, but as far as I know, there's no way to actually put such a signal on the disk.

Jim.,

The delivery was a big question for me too.
