i use mpc hc 1.7.11 64bit with default settings after installation
(no additional codec packs installed)
should look like this:
options > ouput > enhanced video renderer (custom presenter)
options > internal filters :
source filters : everything selected except "wmv/asf/dvr-ms"
transform filters : everything selected except "wmv1/2/3" and "v210/v410"
options > internal filters > video decoder
hardware decoder to use "dxva2 native"
resolutions:
uhd (4k) need a hook
(but this sould be the case with default setup)
prevouis versions of mpc hc had this uhd 4k unselected
here another 4k video in mkv file type this time in h264
imax trailer
http://demo-uhd3d.com/fiche.php?cat=uhd&id=56
this video with h264 codec plays fine but starts to stutter in between with dvd fab
i tested vlc 2.2.4 and nightly 3.0 , mpc hc 1.7.11, windvd pro12 and powerdvd 17 ultra
and dvd fab media player 3.0.0.1
mpc hc is the only player that can play all of my 4k videos without problems.
dvd fab media player clan play them but 4k hevc only with stutter.
vlc has major problems with 4k often picture is unwatchable and some videos stutter.
windvd pro 12 has also problems with 4k crashing with some videos.
power dvd 17 ultra cannot playback this imax video properly showing only 1 frame, plus powerdvd 17 ultra is very unstable playing 4k videos crashing 25% of the time while loading them.
i use latest nvidia driver
i guess i found the reason:
when i look into dvd fab options, there is an option for hardware acceleraton with h264 but not for hevc (h265)
i guess this is the problem.
unlike vlc, windvd or powerdvd
dvd fab media player supports ALL of these 4k videos just without hardware acceleration for hevc
so the devs of dvd fab media player just need to add hardware acceleration for hevc codec
then dvd fab should play ALL 4k videos like mpc hc without problems :cool:
