Converting H.265 to H.264
Using HD Video Converter Factory
Using Handbrake
- Download Handbrake.
- Run Handbrake and click File to load your H.265 file into the software (or drag and drop the file into the grayed–out area).
- Go to the "Summary" tab and choose an output format from the Format drop–down menu. It has only three output formats: MP4, MKV, and WebM.
-
Switch to the "Video" tab and select H.264 (×264) or H.264 10–bit (×264) from the Video Encoder drop–down menu.
If you are a beginner (like me), then you better Leave the default settings of the quality section as they are. If you change it to a "higher" value, you will get an unbelievably HUGE file size !
- Click the "Browse" button at the bottom of the window in order to choose an output path, then click the "Start Encode" green button at the top of the window.
