tigerjack Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Hi everyone, With my old laptop (W7 x32) a strange thing happens whenever I watch an encoded H265 (HEVC) movie: If I use VLC the movie runs jerkily while with Microsoft's WMP the movie runs smoothly. I think I have to change some settings in VLC but I don't know how. Any suggestions? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowledge-Spammer Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 i use VLC may be u can post pic of your settings ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRuan Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I don't know what codec WMP uses to decode H265 but if u can see in the taskbar which one is in use while WMP is working u probably can change this setting in VLC, I use MP Classic so I don't know how to change it, don't know VLC.

steven36 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 The problem is you’re processor don’t have enough power . H.265 load roughly doubles compared to H.264.. Direct X 11 or lower is not optimized for H265 ether so you’re running on pure processor power if you have a newer processor with DX 12 some players have been optimized. Try Baka Mplayer and see if it will play better it uses less process than VLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Try PotPlayer. Its better than VLC.POT playerdoesn't have sound boost like VLC regards Potplayer has sound boot all you have too do is turn on normalization . Out all the players I’ve tired though if you’re on weak PC Baka Mplayer uses less process . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Yo can try MPC and see if it works for you it has more settings than Baka Mplayer but with more settings means its more bolted and causes it to use more process . Baka Mplayer . Bomi , Smplayer are all front end players for mpv (media player) Test different players . If VLC dont work right I would not recommend Potplayer .

Jordan Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 not all containers and muxing modes are equally supported by those different players.MPC-HC/Be & Potplayer are more efficient than VLC regarding the image quality.but i have to say that different hardware (processor/video card/monitor) & different players/codecs can reproduce different results.

steven36 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 @Steven36 same processor, same ram, VLC is out while WMP is ok :blink: Try these players and see if works bomiOnline installer7z archive for 64bit7z archive for 32bitBaka MPlayerhttp://bakamplayer.u8sand.net/ WMP ? you have a codec pack installed to play H265 as well? Do you test players VLC and others without codecs installed this could be whats fouling up MPC . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these players are for windows only so I don’t use them very often any more. But I had a pc before in like 2011 that could not even play x264 good . VLC I dislike more than about any player that comes in Linux flavours. Totem is just as bad or worse than VLC . :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
