Is there an actual advantage to using H265 compression?
My drone is set to H265 compression and when I open it in DaVinci it shows the video isn't available.
Checking the interwebs and it appears that it's a graphic card (built in on my laptop) issue.
The solution being to mess around in the BIOS.
I used to build computers so messing around in the BIOS doesn't scare me but I have other programs (specifically SolidWorks) that had to have graphics set up and I don't want to mess with that.

I have a couple of 256Gb memory cards so I'm not worried about storage space.
So, is there an advantage to using H265?
 
Not in my opinion.

But, here's an article about it

Not an expert in this area but I thought you needed the (paid) Studio version to properly deal with H.265 in DR, no?
