how to play HEVC / h264

I think you may need 'videoLAN for mac'. Which is apparently a version of vlc just for mac? I admit that I know nothing about macs, but this seems to be what you want.

Google it. 'videolan for mac'.

Even better: just go to www.videolan.org; they have it there, but I think the OP knows that especially when I gave a link to the software to the OP.

Glad you worked around it.

I suppose you got Mulva's x264 encodes here on TPB.

HEVC/x265 (encoding/decoding) is much more CPU-intensive than x264. That is probably the reason why you are experiencing difficulties. In case you have some background jobs running, try stopping them.

Reg., Planet Earth II, MVGroup has also uploaded the series in two other versions.
1) HDTV : 1280x720; x264
2) PDTV : 832 x 468; x264

I couldn't find any x264 1080p versions.
It is possible to convert from x265 to x264 format. However it is a time consuming process, unless you have a 'powerful' CPU.
A Intel dual-core takes about a minute to convert a 15 second clip.

But you should be able to play Dr.XJ's HEVC encodes with ease.

Anyway, just wanted to say, don't give up on HEVC/x.265.
