An x265/HEVC compatible player or app is REQUIRED to play back video encoded in this format.
Click on picture above for more information on x265 video and how to play it.
Note : x265 playback is CPU intensive and larger displays increase the CPU load. Refer to your CPU usage to see how your hardware is coping. If x265 playback jitters but x264 is smooth then you may need to upgrade your hardware or use a different application to play x265. Trying a different application in the first instance is easier and much less expensive
Please ask or do some research before rating or commenting negatively regarding playback issues.
Thanks! Now for another dose of Sci-Fi nostalgia. This time from not so long ago but unfortunately still before the time of HDTV & Blu-Ray discs. Like another, more famous Fox Network cancellation, this too had it's wings clipped before it managed to spread them. Time to answer the call...

Space Above and Beyond Season 1
It's the year 2063. After 150 years of deep space exploration, the people of Earth feel certain they are alone in the universe. Then word comes that two Earth outposts light-years away from home have been brutally attacked by an advanced alien civilization. Now the new young recruits of the United States Marine Corps Space Aviator Calvary are heading for the front lines of space in the toughest battle the world has ever faced.
S01E21 - Sugar Dirt
A planetary invasion by Earth military forces is ambushed and turns into a military disaster. There is no air support and no ground reinforcement as the supporting fleet, among it the USS Saratoga, is forced to abandon 25,000 stranded marines in order to launch another assault, which could ultimately save millions of lives, upon a more strategic planet. Before departing, Commodore Ross issues instructions: "You're strongly encouraged, but not ordered to do so, to keep engaging the enemy. If however the situation becomes untenable you're authorized to surrender. Semper fidelis.". Among the scattered, abandoned and demoralized marines are the 58th, struggling to survive.
