H.265 most definitely is harder to work with than h.264 and even simple playback of raw video in an Windows box will be an issue unless you have a system with latest generation GPU and/or CPU that natively handles h.265 files. The bitrate used does depend on resolution and with 2.7K60 the bitrate is limited to 80Mbps with h.265 but 100Mbps with h.264. When shooting at 4K30 it is 100Mbps no matter if you use h.265 or h.264.
That's why I asked you to put up some numbers so I could know what you were doing. I have a 4K camera in the
P4P so I shoot in 4K and if I need a lower resolution for some reason I downres to whatever I need. You can upres as well, but it is NOT going to give you the look and detail of actual 4K. The only upside to 2.7K I can see is being able to shoot at 60fps -- the
P4P is spec'd as being able to do 4K60 using h.264, but its a BS claim as anyone that's tried 4K60 can attest.
Interestingly, the much newer flagship of consumer drones from DJI, the Mavic Pro/Platinum, does not list a frame rate greater than 30fps until you drop down to HD resolution and it's max bitrate is 60Mbps. I'm surprised at how DJI went from pushing the boundaries when threatened (GoPro) and have since, in the last couple years, made no net improvements for consumers. We've been speculating about the Phantom 5 which now looks like it will never happen so the Phantom line appears dead -- sadly, the best of the Mavic line is not really equal to the 2.5 year old
P4P and one wonders when or if DJI is going to advance beyond a 2.5 year old design for consumers -- ever!
