H265 Encoding Error with VLC 2.2

Postby Tabascal » 10 Mar 2015 12:42

I am using VLC 2.2 64 bit Win 8.1 .
When I am trying to encode an .MP4 file to H265 file using the convert /save option. I am getting the error below:

Streaming / Transcoding failed:
It seems your Libav/FFmpeg (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder:
MPEG-H Part2/HEVC (H.265).
If you don't know how to fix this, ask for support from your distribution.

I am also getting the same error when I am using VLC 2.2, 32 bit, Win VISTA.

I am missing something here.
