removed H.265 codec support ?

[Johnny37]

is this a bug on the update or is there something I'm not following?

[venomlight]

The only codec i can use now is h.264, the drop down menu to select anything else is locked and greyed out

I think I'm not going to update mine.. (if possible) and backing up the current version now.

After some digging, I found some info from last year in this link : https://movavi.io/what-is-h265-en/

Maybe one of the h265 licensor decided to take action that made Movavi remove it?

I really regret updating it now =/
this codec was the only reason I was still using movavi video suit 17 I wish there was a way to access the beta tabs on steam to undo this update

Hello!

Unfortunately, we had to drop support for the H.265/HEVC codec due to licensing issues. More details:

What Are Codecs and Why Don’t We Have Support for H.265 in Movavi Software?[movavi.io]

However, if you use Windows 10, you can download from the link below and install the H.265/HEVC Video Extension, which allows you using H.265/HEVC codec in Movavi programs:

Thank you. I really appreciate this kind of response and good gesture from devs, instead of leaving us in dark.

Bought the HEVC Extension from the Microsoft store, got it install and it's still not working.
Not sure if I need to reinstall everything or if it's something else. Wondering if it's worth bothering the devs with a ticket about it.

ok, so I think I fixed it!
I've downloaded and installed the stuff provided in the link from the devs. after that, I uninstalled and installed Movavi again, and now I can edit HEVC files from the video editor
