   Hey Mike!   
      
    MP> My video player of choice is vlc.   
      
   It does get around.  I am unsure how to get vlc to report what codecs it has   
   available to it but have heard that H.265 is possible.  As of this writing I   
   cannot say the same for mplayer which is what I am using here.   
      
    MP> I think you have that last bit re:bloat backwards.   
      
   That is entirely possible.  I am just going by a conversion I did once using   
   ffmpeg comparing H.264 with H.265 output.   
      
    MP> The same size video file that will hold nearly 20 minutes when   
    MP> H.265 is enabled will only hold 3 minutes of video if H.264 mode   
    MP> is used.  That is why I am trying to use it.   
      
   I am guessing both were created by the camera.   
      
   For the record 'ffmpeg -codecs' reports this interesting line in it's output;   
    DEV.L. hevc                 H.265 / HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding)   
   (decoders: hevc hevc_v4l2m2m ) (encoders: libx265 hevc_v4l2m2m )   
      
   I believe libx265 is used by vlc as well.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
