Hi all,

My old i7 Lenovo laptop packed up, so replaced with a Dell XPS with i9 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060. I've edited many H265 DLogM 10 bit files from my Mavic 2 Pro drone. The Lenovo delt with the colour grading quite well. My XPS will not accept any H265 format. which rules out using the DLogM 10 bit which is the whole point of having the M2P.

When I try to drag a H.265, DLogM file into Movie Studio, I get a little "prohibition" sign (red circle with diaganol line). I've tried some of the old H.265 DLogM files that i was able to edit on my old Lenovo with no luck. I've changed the Drone video format to H264, which works fine. It's only when I introduce the H265 format that the files are being rejected. The H265 videos will play on the native Microsoft "Movies and TV player" and even the basic Microsoft Video Editor, but not Movie Studio (I've even tried a trial version of Adobe Premier which didn't accept the H265). I've made sure the Microsoft HVEC codec is installed, but Movie Studio won't even look at it.

I've searched this site for possible solutions but have found nothing that seems to work. Here is the metadata from my mp4 videos that I've shot in DLogM...
