Even if I select H265 mode, it always downloads H264

Novirus

Hello, I'm opening this thread to see if anyone has the same problem, on Disney+ I select H265 and yet it downloads H264. I've tried several movies, for example Sleeping with the Enemy, Men of Honor, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, etc. To prove the truth of the information, I'm attaching screenshots and the famous StreamFab.log file before you ask me for it.
Thanks.

I'm trying to upload the log but since it's the first time I'm posting here I don't understand why it's not uploading.

I can only say that there is no change in bit rate if I change H264 to H265
so 1080p with 5581 kbps is not for H265

When I select a series, the bitrate changes when I switch between H264 + H265 ..
.. but with D+ movies, this doesn't seem to show any change at all

If I select VIP Services - Disney - Video Codec: H265
and in selection is not H265 automatic marked - the option change has no effect

I did several downloads just now - all in H265. Didn't compare bit rates to H264, but Downloads record show H265. What if (3 seasons), latest Doctor Who, Guardians of Galaxy Holiday Special, Skeleton Crew

Buenas, alguno de caminante189 o Alemania podeis probar a descargar por ejemplo "En honor a la verdad" en 1920x1080 en 5024 kbps , H265, EAC3 y decirme el resultado. Gracias.

Nope it's not offered in SF

If VIP setting for Disney is H265 and analyzing autoselect H264
switching to H265 has no effect - because not offered (or not found by SF) => see post #3

For Disney+ 1080p, please wait a few days, it will be supported soon, maybe next week.

IS that for all content? even new stuff? or just older for the leaked keys?

Hello,

Yes, I have waited for version 6.2.1.5 which they say has been fixed, but IT IS NOT TRUE. At least the same thing keeps happening to me, it gives me the H265 option and then lowers it to H264.
I hope that those who understand more (Personal de DVDFab) will fix this soon.

Thanks for helping Wilson Wang

SF version 6215 fixes 1080p content ..
.. if D+ doesn't offer H265 for everything, no SF version can download what isn't there.

and in selection is not H265 automatic marked - the option change has no effect

Ergo: There is nothing to fix

Out of 279 items i downloaded so far, only Agent Carter downloaded in 1080p H264. Everything else is 1080p H265. I have been mostly downloading Marvel and Star Wars stuff

Hello,
Thanks for the clarification. Alemania.

What you are telling me means is that even though SF shows the H265 option for that movie and I select it, when downloading it D+ does so in the highest quality and this may only be H264 and not H265. If so, it is confusing.
Out of curiosity, try "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen."
Thanks.

Germania

.. If so, it is confusing
Novirus

Set H265 in VIP Setting (if you prefer) for D+ and if is not selected H265 after analyzing ..
.. you know that it's not offered - so it's not confusing for me
(you can then also see that manually change to H265 not change the bitrate)

"The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" is not detected in H265

jpp72

Choose H265 in your StreamFab Disney+ settings
Analyze the movie/show
If it automatically selects H264, then H265 is not available.
If it automatically selects H265, then it should download the H265 version

TLOEG is only H264

Hi, I cannot download using the H265 video codec option. I am using Streeamfab version 6.2.1.8 for Windows.The show I am trying to download is "Only Murders in the Building". It does download using the H264 codec option, so it is not a big deal, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

It's important for everyone to understand that at this current time Disney+ only offers the x265 codec for les than 50% of their available content.

So even if SF is pre set to x265 and selected but you do get x264 than it is mostly because it is not available in x265 on Disney+'s server.

That's right. Disney+ does not make a lot of content available in x265 - from experience, only the content that is also available in 4k. All others are x264.
