Where HEVC files come from
Recent iPhones record in HEVC when the camera format is set to High Efficiency. Some other phones and cameras also record HEVC, often inside a MOV or MP4 file. Older editors, some television software and many web forms cannot open it, which is the usual reason to convert.
HEVC and MP4 in plain terms
HEVC, also called H.265, is the efficient video format many recent phones record in. Not every player, editor or website opens it. Timamu converts it to an MP4 with H.264 video, which most players, editors and messaging apps accept.
Steps to convert HEVC to MP4
- Choose the HEVC or MOV video in Timamu Web.
- Select MP4 as the output and run the job.
- Play the first seconds of the MP4 to confirm picture and sound before you delete anything.
- Download the MP4. The original file is untouched.
Video-specific gotchas
- The MP4 can be larger than the HEVC original, because H.264 stores the same picture less efficiently. Compress afterwards if you need it smaller.
