I downloaded some files (a TV series) that use x265. They will only play on a computer, not on a dvd using XtoDVD4, not on a flash drive, and not on a newer Sony player or smart TV. Is there an easy way to convert these files to MP4 or something similar that is compatable? Your help is appreciated.

You can use ffmpeg*, a command-line tool, to do this.

Run

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 20 -c:a copy output.mp4

If the above fails due to audio, use this:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 20 -c:a aac output.mp4

*get the latest nightly or snapshot binary for your platform.
