I am having trouble playing HEVC 1080p file on my system. I don't have a really strong PC, but I will give the facts:
- Ram: 2GB
- OS: Win 7 ultimate
- processor: Pentium(R) Dual-Core T4500 @2.3Ghz
- Graphic Chipset: Intel GMA4500M
I tried the latest version of the said three players to no avail. My players can smoothly play 1080p videos but sadly not the 1080p HEVC files.
- First stop: VLC:
- Very choppy playback. Skipping frames. Grey screens. Audio and Video out of sync. Takes too long to skip. Unwatchable.
- Second stop: MPC-HC (CCCP)
- Better than VLC. Doesn't take too long to skip. Audio and Video still out of sync. Choppy playback.
- Third and final stop: Potplayer
- A lot better than MPC. Skips fast. But a bit choppy. Very much watchable. Only problem: Audio and Video out of sync.
What I tried further(in MPC):
I tried the madVR codec, instead of CCCP; but, to my surprise, I found the playback worse and my CPU usage skyrocketing to about 90%. I now use the EVR instead of madVR.
I really want to watch the video. But how do I?
Possible Answer:
Maybe the file is broken.
Well, I tried the same file on a 1080p TV, and it played smoothly with audio and video in sync.
Second, I can easily play 1080p .mkv files smoothly. It is just those HEVC mkv files that won't play smoothly :(
hmm it would take a lot of time uploading a 780MB file with just 20KBps. :( – 4-K – 2016-05-21T14:05:45.740
20KBPs! Lord! Um, apart from that all I can really suggest is to go into the task manager (
CTRL + ALT + DELETE
) and close down as many processes as you possibly can to free up processor time and memory. Or I suppose you could install one of the more stripped back versions of Linux as a dual-boot, which would free up some additional resources, but that often comes with its own set of problems with regards to videos... – What's in a Google Search – 2016-05-21T14:09:17.953That's too much work to do. Also, I tried freeing up. Potplayer plays it a lot better, just the audio and video are out of sync. – 4-K – 2016-05-21T14:11:51.370
1It's probably to do with the CPU and memory overhead of the particular players. If you go into the task manager and look at the processor usage for each one that should give you an idea of where the problem lies. It may be that the sync problems are related to CPU and memory issues as well, it's just that the program reacts differently to a lack of resources. – What's in a Google Search – 2016-05-21T14:13:52.180
