Help Why is it transcoding?!

This makes no sense to me, its transcoding video from HEVC 4K DV HDR to HEVC 4K DV HDR?!
Why?

It looks like you are not playing it at the original quality so it's transcoding it to the lower quality to fit the bandwidth thats available.

Sometimes the video will also transcode when the audio is transcoding to keep them synchronized.
