I am about to convert a lot of old MKV files encoded with x264, which at the moment are un-downloadable, to more efficient HEVC (x265, H.265) format, using HandBrake software.
My system being Debian Jessie 8.6, fully updated.
I have installed handbrake
and x265
packages from official repositories.
The problem is, I can't seem to be able to choose x265 in HandBrake.
On Linux Mint 18, there is no problem, it's just there.
On Debian 8.6, there is a package called handbrake
, on Linux Mint 18 I have added a PPA and installed handbrake-gtk
.
Versions seem to matter in this case:
Debian: 0.9.9 (x86_64)
Mint: 0.10.5 (x86_64)
