Playing hevc ( x265 )

Hello I am having problems playing hevc x265 . Video stutters and is very choppy. I have an athlon 64 x2 4200+ ( over clocked to 2.5 GHz ) 4gb RAM and a 1gb Radeon HD 6450 graphics card . ( slow, I know ) . If my setup cannot handle it could you recommend a decent converter for hevc to h264.
I tried vlc . Horrible.
Mpc hc and mpc be . both play better than vlc but CPU usage is still 100% and choppy video. .
BTW . I’ve been trying to play 1080p video no 4k .
Answer #1
your cpu is slow to play it you should be able to play h.265 720p fine tho but 1080p is too much for that cpu you would need an i3 or faster if you wanted to play 1080p h265 videos

Would converting them to x264 correct this ? I have watched many videos in the past with x264 encoding that did not do this . also I just installed the radeon 6450 . it didn’t seem to make much difference .
Answer #3
try potplayer
also in whatever player, check that hardware acceleration is off or on and try a different setting
if using madvr to render try turning off settings in there, look under “filters”
Answer #4
get lav filters and it might help with hardware assisted decoding but probably not with hevc with that radeon card because i doubt that it supports h265 decoding
alternatively you could look for the most efficient hevc decoder codec which might help a bit. Lentoid claims that theirs is the most efficient and fastest decoder which might be worth a try. it uses around 14% cpu and up to 26% on my c2q when playing ~2Mbit hevc 1080p

I love potplayer! Got rid of vic and now potplayer plays everything without unneeded additional codecs
Answer #8
My VLC for Linux plays HEVC x265 with no issues at all and most importantly my PC is similar spec to OP’s computer……also use mplayer sometimes too with no issue as well.
