![]() Note: Your Mac Pro 2008 is now a decade old, having to buy a new computer after this period of time in order to use newer more advanced technology is far from unreasonable. Try hacking an install of High Sierra on to your MacPro 2008 (not supported but theoretically possible), if you going to do this you would want to have a better video card than it originally came with, it would be much easier to install High Sierra on even a Mac Pro 2009.Buy an iMac Pro and give up on Mac Pros.Buy a secondhand Mac Pro 2010, 2012 or 2013 all of which can officially run High Sierra or even Mojave.Yes it is possible Apple will break this 'promise' and slip to a later date however I personally think there is a good change they will manage to ship in 2019. The latest official Apple information is that the next new Mac Pro will ship sometime in 2019. With regards to a newer faster Mac for you. There was no point Apple 'back porting' H.265 to older operating system versions because older version only run on older Macs which are too slow.A modern Mac means you need a matching modern version of macOS.You need a powerful and therefore modern computer to adequately cope with H.264. ![]() ![]() See - Encode with High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) in Compressor 4.4 - Apple Support It seems developers have decided that there is no benefit to writing them and I would sadly agree with them.Īpple have recently added a H.265 codec but only in High Sierra. This is not my greatest area of expertise but I am unable to think offhand of any third-party codecs that use Apple's new QuickTime interface. With regards to adding a theoretical H.265 codec to I am presuming you mean QuickTime this in theory would be possible but there are a couple of problems.įirst in more recent version of the Mac operating system the types of codec supported by QuickTime has changed hugely, all the older style codecs are no longer supported by QuickTime and a totally different design of codec has to be used. Now yes both VLC and Handbrake are not codecs they are applications that implement various codecs including H.265. Compressing to H.265 is even more demanding, for this Handbrake is the best option. You can play back H.265 using for example VLC although your Mac may struggle to do this especially as most H.265 content is typically of higher resolution e.g. However in order to achieve this it needs a correspondingly greater amount of processing power. H.265 is as I am sure you know is a far more efficient codec than its predecessors such as H.264.
