See this attached page (p.59) from the new Samsung player's owner's manual: HEVC may ( and probably will ) be the preferred 4K codec given its higher efficiency, but h.264 4K is supported as well. The recently released Samsung 4K UHD disk player supports BOTH h.265 HEVC AS WELL AS 4K h.264 codecs. No Markr041-The 4K UHD Standard is absolutely NOT SET as only HEVC-h.264 "PERIOD":
There is no reason in my mind to believe that "it is done" (to use your exact words) really is true either. I will also add that the BluRay spec has in fact been modified over time to incorporate multiple changes, as is commmonly true for engineering specs as 'living documents'. Therefore, I ask you to please provide evidence for your confident asssertion that HEVC is the one and only. Not only is this difficult to imagine technically, but would contradict other releases showing such things as the prototype Panasonic UHD BluRay players supporting 100 Mbits/sec speeds, totally unnecesary if only HEVC is used. I have never seen any evidence that this HEVC codec is the exclusive one selected, and that no other codec will be included. We have both seen news releases and articles stating that HEVC will be included in the spec, and I have no doubt that it will. They never changed the old bluray standards, and they are unlikely to change the new one either. No, the standards for 4K UHD bluray are already set - it is HEVC, not XAVC. In doing so, the author can choose and the player will abide." "It is therefore entirely possible that both HEVC (h.265) as well as AVC (h.264) will BOTH be supported on the new 4K BluRay disks.
