PD13 is the sole editor on my computer, having deleted PD11 and PD12. Deleting 11 was easy however 12 turned into a PITA Because of left over files, hundreds of them, the REVO uninstaller did a great job, so did CCleaner to clean the registry.

Installing PD13 then went easy.

I do make clones and backups at the drop of a hat, that provides a sound sleep at night!

HEVC certainly cuts down the amount of storage needed, in fact it virtually cut it in half at basically the same PQ.

But at a steep price, the encoding of a 5 min 4K 30 FPS, 60Mb XAVC-S stream from a Sony FDR AX100 took 70 minutes !! This compares to 17 minutes for a 4K MP4 264 60 Mb file using SVRT. It appears however that SVRT did not really help. No acceleration was used, CPU only.

The 5 min 4K 265 file is 1.2GB versus 2.2 GB for the 264 file.

As mentioned below my computer CPU is a i7 920 app 4 years old,with 12GB memory.

Hard as I tried both files looked the same.

Hopefully the upcoming optical players will provide 4K formats other than 265. I will also try higher 265 bit rates to see if it speeds things up.
