get out your intel i7, install a helix nightly and you are good to go. Although 4k 60hz might be a problem

HEVC, some low profile I presume (mediainfo doesn't say) info down there is for 720p but it will do UHD as well, works on ATOM D2550 perfectly smooth like butter. Anything other profiles struggles as expected.

I remember getting all excited for x2.64 many years ago before it came out, eagerly looking forward to using a shiny new technology which is better etc etc
Reality is though, it took many, many many years to become ubiquitous and even more to become common in home devices for friends / family (DVD players with USB, set top boxes with USB etc - many years to support x.264)
It's finally here and common. It'll be 5 to even 10 years before x.265 is as common for regular devices, Android phones etc.

I think uptake will be faster this time than h.264 was.
Please note that h.264 is the AVC standard, x264 is a software implementation of the standard.
Similarly h.265 is the HEVC standard, x265 is a software implementation of the standard.

X.264, H2.64, regardless of that, the more devices that support something, the longer it takes to flush out of the system.
Us, as techbleeding nerds might adopt .265 sooner than most - but we're going to have the same crappy teething pains we just got over now. I'm sure some of us recall converting files back to DVD or DIVX or MPG2 or whatever it is you prefer that peoples old crappy devices needed.
In 4+ years we'll be lamenting needing to convert .265 back to .264 for Uncle Sammy's media box in the pool room.
Also am I imagining things or did I just see a post earlier mentioning the standard for .265 is still somewhat in flux and being tweaked?
EDIT: Not to say I don't want .265, it's just not going to be a nice quick change sadly. I'd love to "buy" 20% more disk space instantly.
