Hello


I have one question to Flash Player Dev Team.

Do you have a plan for the H.265 decoder on the FP?

We should need H.265 on our media solutions, and are making a plan to H.265.



Let me know any plan.



Regards,

There are no plans to implement H.265 in the short-term (3-6 months). 

My recommendation would be to file a Feature Request here: http://bugbase.adobe.com/ and encourage folks to vote on it.  We do our best to accommodate new feature requests, and prioritize them by popularity and feasibility.

Thanks!

Jeromie , what is happening  ?

2015 April , one year and a half after your post , and H265 support is not even here !

I can't properly work with my camera and I can't use my adobe software with easiness.

How Adobe don't implement vp9, it's free if H.265 is too expensive?

Yes, I think too that, Adobe should adopt VP9 as it's free and better than H.265

You should look at this article:

The Great UHD Codec Debate: Google's VP9 Vs. HEVCH.265 - Streaming Media Magazine

Their conclusion is that the two are very close, with VP9 having some efficiencies in encoding. But not enough differences to clearly say one is better than the other.

I think, If Adobe were managed to implement H.265 decoding features soon, It could miss many opportunities.

Adobe have to implement H.265 decoding features now!!

(Although, there are many issues on necessaries h/w specifications)

Media industries are growing up as very fast flow.

Hi, currently H.265 / HEVC is too slow (encoding) and CPU intensive.

It will took some months/years until the speed is growing via software optimizations and hardware en-/decoders.

For a long time there was only software support for anytype of digital video.  If adobe wants to remain a forerunner in Video distripution they need to adopt and impement new standards.  4K and 8K is going to happen. H265 and VP9 are the two codecs that support the new higher resolutions.  High framerates are not as important in video as it is with gamming, nobody watches anything over 30FPS as it is.  I dont think there would be any complaints from developers if H265 or VP9 software decoding was available in a near future release of Flash/Air.  If if it only did 15 fps alot of people would still use it just to have the large frame size available.  4K displays are commercially available.  The only reason full screen 4K video is not available in flash now is that Adobe seems to be dragging thier heels on the issue.

You need to implement h.265 decoding in Premiere CC as soon as possible. Samsung NX 1 files are uneditable in you software suite unfortunately.
