ERightSoft’s veteran encoder SUPER has been updated to build 65 with new support for playing and encoding HEVC/H.265 4K video streams.
There’s no extra work involved to make this happen. Just choose an Output Video Codec as usual, and HEVC/H.265 appears in the "may not play on QuickTime" list for any appropriate container.
Speed optimizations mean you should now see faster encoding for both MP4 and FLV output containers.
The official ChangeLog also notes fixes for "various critical bugs", although there’s no detail on exactly what or where these might be.
As ever, SUPER is a powerful media converter, especially useful for anyone who wants to take full control over every aspect of the process (beginners might be better off elsewhere).
SUPER 2015 Build 65 is available now as a free package for Windows XP and later.
