The libde265 team released a production version of the popular VLC media player for Windows capable to play HEVC 4K Ultra HD video. Like the Mac OS X version released before VLC plays HEVC video in 4K Ultra HD resolution at a frame rate of 30 fps on a Windows PC. The minimum system requirements for viewing 4K UHD video is a PC with an Intel or AMD CPU equivalent to
The VLC media player with libde265 HEVC video codec is available for download on GitHub:
https://github.com/strukturag/vlc-2.1/releases/latest The .zip version can be used without installation, just extract to any folder and run the "vlc.exe".
The source code changes are available on:

July 5thSame problem here.
The 32 bit version presents the same issue.
Somebody could help?

July 12thGH4 4k Mov files have crashed all the versions of VLC player that I have tried.
Why does it work with the old Windows Media Player and not VLC?
-
-
July 12thOK I got VLC 1.4 (64bit) to work after I uninstalled the 32 bit version that was default
-
-
July 21stSo the 4K files are working for you now? Do you have an example we could use to reproduce the crash in the 32bit version (which version of Windows are you running)?
-
-
July 13thdoesn´t work !
you need exmplayer if you want to have a working Player !

July 20thsame here with 64bit, Norton anti virus removed the 64bit EXE. I allowed it, but I get errors
-
-
July 21stWhat message is shown by Norton and what did it find in the exe?
-

July 21stwork fine,, to decode HEVC Encoded video files with 1080p on my Netbook. thanks

January 26thFirst of all no one smart uses 32-bit ANYTHING anymore. You need the 64-bit versions of EVERYTHING, PERIOD.

January 26thAlso 30 frames per second is what HDMI uses for 4K, but to get TRUE 4K Ultra HD at 60 frames per second, you need the graphics card that uses a DisplayPort, at least version 1.2, and a 4k Ultra HD monitor, also with a DisplayPort. That is the ONLY way to get TRUE 4K Ultra HD at 60 frames per second from a PC or even a player.

March 26thNo, that’s wrong. HDMI 2.0 can do true 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 and most modern graphics cards (Nvidia 900, 1000 and AMD 480 and 500 series) all have HDMI 2.0 capabilities. Please do research before wrongly informing people. Nvidia 700 series and below only have HDMI 1.4 so they can do 4K@30Hz 4:4:4 or 4K@60Hz 4:2:0

February 9thThanks for your good work.
I just want to make sure if hevc data in a rtsp stream is supported? I had tried .265 file, it works

February 13thDoes current support tile mode decoding?
It break downs in decoding HM12.0 bit stream with tile mode enable.
Is this normal?
Thank you.
-
-
February 16thTile mode should be fully supported and I’m not aware of any problems with it. Could you please send us a short bitstream that is not working for you.

March 12thI have the same question as Wesley.
I put my bitstream as following:
