Media Player Codec Pack Plus differs from the usual Media Player Codec Pack by including more encoder codec's, including additional 64bit codecs. It supports almost every compression and file type used by modern video and audio files. Playback video files containing H.265 / HEVC media.
H.265, also known as HEVC, short for High Efficiency Video Coding which is designed to substantially improve coding efficiency compared to H.264/AVC. HEVC encoders can trade off computational complexity, compression rate, robustness to errors, etc. Playing H.265 files can be tricky, a powerful H.265 video player is required which not only plays the specific H.265/HEVC video file but also compatible with your OS edition.
- 'As the problems I occurred, the latest VLC media player still does not support H.265 video playback perfectly: there is stutters, not showing audio, etc issues.'
Why some players claim to be the best H.265 player but indeed they are not working when the users trying to playback H.265 files?
1.For some operating system such as Windows 10, it supports playing and HEVC videos natively. So, some H.265 video players actually can't play H.265/HEVC files without the supporting of the specific OS. 2. Other media player needed HEVC/H.265 codec pack or third party H.265 decoder software to help decoding the specific X265/HEVC files, means this sort of H.265 player won't play H.265 files solely.
HEVC/H.265 is an advanced video compression standard capable of amazing visual quality with 50% bitrate savings.
The successor to H.264, High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265) delivers quality video equivalent to H.264/AVC with up to 50% bitrate savings. For example, videos encoded in the DivX HEVC profile within Converter will maintain the high-quality of the DivX Plus profile, but at a smaller file size.
HEVC is critical for streaming high-quality video even in congested network environments, and is a driving factor in the delivery of 4K content to 4K/Ultra HD displays.
