Since I shoot mostly event stuff, Ill start the transcode at night after I transfer cards, usually takes about 15-20 minutes using EditReady.

I do a lot of transcoding, and if you can transcode H.265 material from a full length event shot in 15-20 minutes, then you are doing something that is killing the quality of the footage.

And, again, since you're saying clients won't notice, what is the point of investing in a whole new camera+lens system unless it makes a difference to your bottom line? Sounds like bad business.

at the moment, i'm only shooting 1080p. not 4K, not sure if that's the difference in transcode time.

Well, that makes more sense, though H.265 is quite processor intensive. Still, I use EditReady as well and it's a nifty piece of kit. Good to know it can handle H.265 already.
