Part 2: Why VLC Gets Choppy in the HEVC Playback So now let’s find out why can’t VLC play HEVC or H.265 videos successfully when the application claims to have the ability to do so. What’s more, there are reports saying that VLC cannot open HEVC or H.265 videos at all. A lot of VLC users have reported the problem of VLC being choppy when playing an HEVC or H.265 video. However, having the HEVC support is one thing, being able to successfully play it is another. So theoretically, VLC should have no problem handling HEVC or H.265 video materials. As an all-inclusive video player application, VLC Player has the HEVC support built-in for both the Windows version and the Mac version. To put it in a simple way, yes, VLC can play HEVC or H.265 videos. That means more data can be delivered into our video like higher dynamic range, higher resolutions and wider color range without requiring more bandwidth in the infrastructure. While HEVC takes up less storage space compared to H.264, but it needs more power in CPU. In the past few years, the digital intermediates including ProRes or DNxHR finally can be converted into H.264 for using in web or broadcast. HEVC is the newest continuation for the trend, which is handled in trading storage to compute. In the last decade, CPUs has become more powerful, more affordable and more abundant, trading storage space from hard drives to compute with CPUs has been a trend. ![]() Choosing which particular codec partly depends on which particular hardware is used. The creation of HEVC aims at offering wider color gamuts to UHD HDR deliverables. Generally speaking, HEVC/H.265 inherits the codec of AVC/H.264.
