You old codger Spike :-) Seems the new 265 codec is fast becoming the norm in
some groups. Luckily, I have a box that will play them for not a lot of money.
I've just upgraded my equipement so would have had to put up without 265 for a
while without it.
I'm happy to stick with AVI - MP4 and MKV for the moment but I've done some
testing and the savings in size with no apparent loss in quality is astounding.
Although file size is less of a problem these days it might encourage those on
the lower end of the bandwidth scale to have a go at posting.
Food for thought?
