How can I convert a video from H.264 (High 4:4:4 Profile) to H.265 (Main Profile 4:2:0) using ffmpeg?

I can't do that with this command: ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c:v hevc_nvenc -c:a copy output2.mkv

That'd return an error, does not recognize the source format

  • try ```ffmpeg -i input.mkv -pixel_format yuv420p -c:v libx265 -crf 28 -preset 'placebo' -c:a copy out.mkv``` – tony Nov 18 '22 at 18:14
