Comment (by jkqxz): While I agree that the ITU name should have been used to be consistent, this is probably too painful to change now. The hevc name appears in many different places, and all would need to be deprecated with support for both names over an extended period - it just isn't worth the trouble. (Also, I think it is quite likely that some people would disagree with the change - in some contexts the HEVC name has significantly more recognition than H.265, sufficiently so that changing it could cause a lot of confusion to users.) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/7205#comment:3> FFmpeg <https://ffmpeg.org> FFmpeg issue tracker _______________________________________________ FFmpeg-trac mailing list FFmpeg-trac@avcodec.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-trac
