Windows 10: HEVC, GOPRO & WINDOWS 10

Hi!


I want to buy the new gopro hero 7 BLACK, I wanted to know if my computer (ASPIRE E 15; E5-571G-76KH) supports the HEVC, the technical specifications are:


WINDOWS 10

INTEL CORE i7-4510U 2.0GHz with Turbi Boost up to 3.1GHz

NVUDIA GeForce 820M with 1 GB Dedicated VRAM

4 GB DDR3 L Memory

500 GB HDD



Thank you in advance!

How can I get HEVC to play on Windows 10

Hi GoPro, Windows does not support H265 (HEVC) yet, there are a few free video players available on the Web

Simply Google the free 5KPlayer or 'Free video player for HEVC' or 'Free video player for H265'

 

Windows 10 getting HEVC H.265 Codec to use Hardware Acceleration

Playing HEVC H.265 videos using Windows Media Player and GoPro Quik then the 4k 60 fps video appears all stuttering and becomes a slideshow. The CPU usage is going through the roof and it's not using Hardware Acceleration. I have installed the "HEVC Video Extensions" from Microsoft Store. When I use the app "Movies & TV" for playing the video file then it uses around 1% CPU and Hardware Acceleration seems to be enabled.

How can I get Windows Media Player and GoPro Quik to use Hardware Acceleration?

"HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer" (Free version that works with licence software like GoPro Quik): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/hevc-video-extension/9n4wgh0z6vhq

I have tried following:

1. Uninstall all codecs, also the "HEVC Video Extensions" from Store: Windows Media Player plays only the sound, screen is black. Unable to open video in GoPro Quik
   
2. Installed K-Lite Codec Pack (w/HEVC codec): Windows Media Player plays the video with both video and audio smoothly. The playback is hardware accelerated as it only used 1% CPU. Unable to open video in GoPro Quik
   
3. Install "HEVC Video Extensions" from store (Regardless if K-Lite is installed or not): Windows Media Player plays video with both video and audio but it's stuttering. Playback is not hardware accelerated and it uses near 100% CPU. GoPro Quik is now able to open and edit the video but it's stuttering, using 100% CPU on playback and hard to edit the movie
   

System specifications:

• Windows 10 Pro N, Version 1803, OS Build 17134.165
  
• Intel i7-8700K @ 3.7Ghz (8th gen, coffee lake, newer then Kaby Lake)
  
• 16 GB Ram
  
• Nvidia GeForce 1070 GTX (Driver version 398.82 which is the newest)
  

One solution would be using software like Handbrake to convert the video file from H.265 to H.264, but I consider that a "hack" as this really should work with my system spec.

 

HEVC video files play black in windows 10 pro

Hi

Yes, this is the first time I encounter this issue. I just got a new GoPro Hero 6 which makes HEVC files and it is when I discovered the problem.

I updated all video drivers and software related to video playback after realizing that the videos don't work, but after all updates it's still not working.

All the HEVC videos work with Windows Media Video app.

Same files work properly in my laptop with Windows 10 both in Windows Media Player and Quick (GoPro propietary edition software) except for the performance as the laptop is not able to make them play fluid due to the low performance of the components.

Thanks
