How To Play HEVC/H.265 Videos on your PC?

[Ctrlme]

Download and install K-Lite Codec Pack
a. Playback of x265 supports the K-Lite codec pack installed in system starting from version 10.1.0: Download K-Lite
b. If you don’t want to install anything superfluous, try LAV 0.59.1 or later version: Download LAVFilters
c. Playing of x265 supports by VLC media player starting from version 2.1.1: Download VLC
d. Media Player Classic BE: Download MPC BE

Take a simple click, it’s super easy to play H.265/HEVC videos.

Important Note: Changelog 10.7.1 to 10.7.5 of K-Lite Codec Pack has added support for hardware accelerated decoding of HEVC/H.265 video. Because all currently available hardware does not yet contain a fixed-function decoder for HEVC, the current implementation utilizes the general shader and video processing units of the GPU. What’s more, it can be installed on Windows only. For Mac users, it won’t work at all.

Am using divx plus player for pc and so far it has proven to also play hevc videos without any lag whatsoever. Vlc plays hevc videos but sometimes it can lag. Or probably thats a bug that happens to me. I hope i have contributed a little something to your info. Thanks for the information about hevc videos.

KMPlayer, VLC, BSPlayer with latestst codecs and there you go
Btw, I think Firefox also supports H1xx and H2xx codecs so, you can also play it directly in browser
