Encode H265 to hvc1 codec

Question

Here is the info of my source file:

I want to keep audio quality and just encode the video track so I use this command:

ffmpeg -i INPUT -c:a copy -c:v l         


        

Answer 1

Add -tag:v hvc1 as @SushiHangover's answer and -bsf:v hevc_mp4toannexb to ffmpeg command(version 3.4 and later). That will create a QuickTime-compatible mov file.

ffmpeg -i input-hev1.mp4 -c:v copy -tag:v hvc1 -bsf:v hevc_mp4toannexb
-c:a copy output-hvc1.mov
