They claim great things, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet:

the new v.10 Handbrake has H265

I'd recommend (from Mark's 3LD workshop in New York):

1\. convert the same short movie into the following 4 codecs: h264, h265, Photo-Jpeg, and Hap.

2\. open a new Isadora sketch and add a movie player and a projector.

3\. open the 'Activity Monitor' application (on a Mac)

then 4\. play each of your 4 codecs of the same short movie one after the other and watch what happens in the Activity Monitor. There should be a marginal difference between them when playing forward at normal speed. However, when played backwards and/or at anything more/less than normal speed, you will see why h264 is not recommended for use in Isadora.

--I don't know yet about h265\. Let us know!

"...not recommended for use in Isadora. "

Well, not for any media software if you're doing what you describe. ;-)
