    Okay, I need opinions on MA2 SC!

    I was/am exactly in the same situation as you. Well, almost.....I bought my MA2 in May, and it was my first what I would consider expensive drone purchase at about $1000 all in. I had used a $250 drone prior, and started using it more and more, but at that price point there is no gimbel, and the...

    h264 vs h265

    I will hold off on any further replies from here, agreeing to disagree, but...... I would challenge you to produce any document which states the only purpose of H265 was related to compression. H265 is on v4 at present, and all ITU-T documents and a closer inspection of the actual spec show that...

    h264 vs h265

    "The more you compress the more you lose" is not an accurate statement. It hasn't been true for 10 years. Whether the media stream is voice, or video, that statement long ago ceased to be true. That is why, for voice, when VoIP first started to be used widely between 15 and 20 years ago, the...

    Video editing software

    I did just as you suggest. Relatively quickly I ran into a feature limitation and bought the paid version. I have no stake, don’t work for any of these companies, etc. For the non pros here who nevertheless want to create quality videos, that would be my perspective, I suggest davinci over...

    Video editing software

    That’s n premier pro has supported h265 since version12. No doubt what you said is correct but it’s not the core issue. The core issue is not turning off the video recorder before turning off the drone.

    Video editing software

    Agreed! I’m newish to video editing and Adobe premiere pro is too expensive and too complex. I tried a free trial and it was obvious I would have to invest hours of time learning it. It very much feels like software made for a professional, so the name fits! Too complex for the average person...

    h264 vs h265

    I am sure because I have commented on this issue I will come across as over zealous, but this is incorrect too. we all talk about frame rate in these forums. And that is become in between the frames the video codec has to predict what happens, pixel by pixel. A video encoding/deciding protocol...

    h264 vs h265

    Although I see lots of the typical online “burns” in this forum, my comment is not meant in that way. That said, what you’ve said here is not correct. One of h265’s primary advantages over h264 is that its compression usually results in videos of equal quality being roughly half the size of what...

    h264 vs h265

    I have an iPhone 11 and an iPad mini 4. Both work with caching and both are on current iOS releases. What iPad and iOS version combo are you using? I typically have had video caching on up until a month ago, when I watched a YouTube video pointing out that by turning it on, you’re asking your...

    h264 vs h265

    Here is a good explanation about what the difference is. https://link.medium.com/RTp1pMxie8 This article was written in 2016 though, and so the one negative - the computing power needed to decide h.265 vs h.264, has been reduced quite a bit. I see a lot of bias for h.264 here and in the drone...
