Take a simple click, it’s super easy to play H.265/HEVC videos. Playing of x265 supports by VLC media player starting from version 2.1.1: Download VLCĭ. If you don’t want to install anything superfluous, try LAV 0.59.1 or later version: Download LAVFiltersĬ. Playback of x265 supports the K-Lite codec pack installed in system starting from version 10.1.0: Download K-Liteī. Solution 1: Download and install K-Lite Codec PackĪ. Now share with you two easy solutions to import H.265/HEVC video in VLC Player on desktop PC. Well, don’t let it be your playback hurdle. 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. Although it is claimed latest version of VLC (2.2.0) should enable both HEV1 and HEV2 formats of HEVC, viewing H.265/HEVC files in VLC is not so easy as we image. Searching online and I got some tech support. But when I open my recorded HEVC files in VLC desktop PC, Windows 8 says it’s encoded with a codec not recognized by the player, and the VLC Player will play the audio, but not the video.
It was working fine prior to the last update to VLC, and I haven’t made any other changes to my PC. I’m having a problem with playing H.265 in VLC, and hoping someone can offer some suggestions.
