With Kodi beta's on the horizon, I am starting to get interested in H265. How can I tell if my card decodes H265? My machines are in my sig. I'm wondering if I'll need to upgrade anything in order to take advantage of it.

Well, ripping seems to be an issue. I am trying a movie in H265 right now in DVDFab and it says time left 6 hours 47 minutes
EDIT: now is says 9 hours 34 minutes remaining. Seems like H265 isn't quite ready yet. I would if any other ripper does 265 yet.

I have a core i7 extreme processor and 24GB RAM. I guess it will take quantum computing to do it in any reasonable time. I took a 24GB movie last night and converted it to a 4GB H265 file in Handbrake but it took 2-1/2 hours.

2.5h is totally reasonable for a new video codec.
