Apparently Davinci can't handle all h.265 files, and they have to be converted to DNxHD or ProRes format.
Wow thanks - That's genuinely helpful. It at least gives me a reason as to whats going on. The fact its changed the codec to H.265/HEVC makes absolute sense in as far as it explains what's going on...

Now I got to find a way to either switch H.265/HEVC off on my device, or find a way to convert them in a lossless way so I can carry on as normal.

What has been an enjoyable hobby for the last few years of getting my files from the phone, chucking them into resolve and then popping them up on YouTube has become an entire performance that is almost like actual work!

If you have any ideas, I'm all ears. Thing is though, even windows doesn't recognise this new format. So I'm kinda at a loss as to what to do?
