[SOLVED] HEVC/H.265 Decoder. how does it work?

how do I integrate them in Windows Media Player or VLC?

I need them because the video I'd like to watch is coded with HEVC. while it is played (often jerky), the use of the CPU is always around 99%

It would seem you already have some sort of decoder that supports HEVC, otherwise you wouldn't be able to play the video at all. The issue is that your CPU apparently isn't up to the task of decoding. What are your complete system specs? What resolution is the video? Are you sure it's encoded with x265?

Yes, the video is played only by VLC. Windows Media Player plays only the audio. I was just looking for a system-level decoder. Please explain how to integrate it in Windows, I just wanted to give it a try, although it will probably be useless.

Windows doesn't know how to decode all video formats out the box. You have to install a codec pack like K-Lite to allow Windows to decode them. VLC includes its own codecs, which is why it can play the videos. Any other player will use the codecs installed in Windows, which means you need to install a codec pack.

If the videos still stutter or are jerky, then your CPU is probably not capable of decoding it in real-time. The codec will try to use your GPU to decode if it supports that particular codec. But if it doesn't, it will fall back to decode in the CPU. If your CPU is not up to the task, you'll have to buy a new GPU, a new computer, or convert the videos to an older supported format like h.264.

I apologize. I forgot to say that I'm on windows 7 64bit

in fact, I would at least try to install Strongene HEVC / H.265 Decoder, but I have no idea how to do it. please help me?

First of all tell us what CPU and GPU you have,if neither your CPU or your GPU is capable of handling x.265 then anything else is pointless you will always have lag no matter where you put the codec or how you make it work.

Intel supports h265 with quick sync through the iGPU from the 6th gen and onwards,you have a 3rd gen CPU so no luck and your CPU just isn't fast enough.
You will need to find the video in a different form or re code it into h264 which would take very long but then it would play very easily.
