[IDEA] Raspberry Pi 2 and H.265/HEVC?

[IriDium]

@syco If you could provide a snippet of a video (If legal) encoded as H.265/HEVC and we might be able to do some comparisons on different hardware.

Most UK users cannot use Torrents for fear of the Internet Police.

My thoughts are that behind the scenes most processing is done in H/W without us knowing it, whilst H.265 is new and not included in the H/W and thus has to be done in S/W. As it has double the compression ration of H.264 there's a lot more processing power required. I'm sure this was true when DTS was announced.

For now, you'd be better off transcoding them to something else. Handbrake is supposed to be able to handle H265.
