From the list given by @imaginenore the major one for me is CineformHD support. We work on a lot of VR stuff and there are quite some GoPro users out there that generate material in this codec. Not having to transcode to an intermediate is nice. Also hardware acceleration is always good to have.

FYI, the phrase "quite some users" is not uncommon among (continental european?) non-native speakers of English, but it's not correct.

"In the British National Corpus, for example, most examples of quite some are "quite some time", others are "quite some distance". If you replace "quite some" with "a considerable", the meaning should be clear. If the sentence does not make sense when you do that, it's likely that "quite some" is not being used properly."

Thanks theoh. Dutchie here. Always nice to learn something new about a foreign language.
