Hi,

So have my photos on my mac set to download and keep all photos, and I optimize on my iPhone 8. I have my iphone set to take high efficiency photos and videos (HEIF and HEVC). When I look at the details of my videos in the photos app it has the HEVC label. But when I look at them in finder (inside the photos library package in the images folder), finder tells me they are .mov files (so far so good) with h.264 video, not h.265 or HEVC).

So.. what gives? Are they HEVC or not? Why does photos tell me one thing, and finder tells me something else?

Thanks!
