When you play or edit some of your 4K HEVC video files, an error message is likely to pop up saying your application fails to decode HVC1 video. What is going on? Actually, HVC1 is not a video format like our familiar MP4 file, instead, it is a format tag or codec ID associated with the H.265/HEVC video compression format. You know what, HEVC/H.265 codec has two common FourCC, HEV1 and HVC1, which are code points used to signal different packaging of the stream in the video container. You can check video codec using MediaInfo to identify the codec id strings.
I'm not really privy to much of the technical differences or industry-specific stuff. In a nutshell, if your camera or recording device outputs a format tag of "HVC1" for HEVC video, it doesn't work for the applications that only recognize HEVC HEV1 videos. Fortunately, this problem can be simply fixed by video transcoding or re-encoding. And this post will show you how to convert HVC1 to MP4 for hassle-free playback and editing.

Moreover, this program also offers some basic editing features to help trim, split, merge, crop, rotate, flip, watermark video, add subtitles and replace audio track in a video.
As you see, it's pretty simple to convert HVC1 to MP4 with the right application, right? However, you're not recommended to convert HVC1 to MP4 online because it's quite inefficient, and even time-consuming. Every operation requires a good and stable network connection with file size limited, which is a great challenge for processing large-sized video file. By contrast, the desktop program is obviously the best choice. If you agree with me, just go ahead, and start your work. This app will not let you down, I promise.
