Summary of the bug:
FFmpeg does not support Muxing HEVC into either Matroska or MP4. However,
it does work in the MOV muxer. MP4Box/gpac does support muxing HEVC into
an MP4 container, and FFmpeg can read files muxed by MP4Box/gpac with
HEVC, so an MP4 container does support HEVC. FFmpeg can also read MOV
containers with HEVC streams that are muxed by FFmpeg. Matroska supports
everything (in theory) so this should also work.
How to reproduce:
This works fine:
{{{
ffmpeg -f hevc -r 60 -i bbb3d_sunflower_video.hevc -c copy video.mov
}}}
This does not work:
{{{
ffmpeg -f hevc -r 60 -i bbb3d_sunflower_video.hevc -c copy video.mp4
}}}
and neither does this:
{{{
ffmpeg -f hevc -r 60 -i bbb3d_sunflower_video.hevc -c copy video.mkv
}}}
These return
{{{
[mp4 @ 0x107d6a0] Could not find tag for codec hevc in stream #0, codec
not currently supported in container
}}}
and
{{{
[matroska @ 0x12fb6a0] Can't write packet with unknown timestamp
av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid argument
}}}
The raw HEVC streams were encoded using x265.
