I just discovered something that VLC REALLY didn’t like to play. A 4K50fps JPEG2000 YUV444 12bit lossless ~48 GB video that was only 1 minute long.
To be fair the bitrate of the video is insane at ~5700 Mbit/s. The bitrate is so insane that you should really consider using an NVME drive for playback.
MPC-HC could kinda play it but only with extreme stutter and lag. My CPU (Ryzen 9 5900x) was completely maxed out.
I think you need hardware acceleration for a video like this.
Vlc has hardware acceleration afaik. I think its more a case of the ffmpeg codec not supporting it yet because what the actual fuck haha
Haha, that’s fair 😂
I think you need hardware acceleration for a video like this.
ok but why would anyone have a video like that
You can read more about why and how it was made here: https://www.svt.se/open/en/content/
It’s basically intended to test encoding and stuff like that.
Maybe some kind of super slow motion high resolution type thing?
but if you’re gonna watch it in slow motion anyways then why isn’t it saved as a slow video that is much longer?

Where can I try this

I downloaded “natural complexity” or something like that. Unfortunately FTP downloads are limited to 100 Mbit/s so downloads can take a while. Imo they should make a torrent.
VLC is not script-frendly. mpv is the goat. You can even watch videos from YouTube and maybe from somewhere else.
I was team VLC for certain things it could do, and then I found that MPV could do all those things and more. Crazy how versatile it is.
vlc can even play incomplete video files - it’ll just play the parts of it, that will play.
It’ll even play videos that are actively downloading
^ Found a fellow old school torrent user 😆
The cool part is vlc can act like a video downloader, screen recorder, and media converter. It can also stream a video over the internet
The swissknife of digital video.
The every thing tool for media, now we just need a video editor XD
You are looking for kdenlive
VLC: it can do anything media related. I wish iTunes can do this without being so bloated.
VLC is nice, but same as SMplayer or Mplayer, it can`t download a video, but record it in streaming. I used VLC before, but VLC lacks in speed, it’s very slow compared to the mencioned.
And the dude who maintains VLC do not even make money from it, at all!
Big fan of media player classic / MPC-HC for many years now.
Is there an updated fork with security patches? Android disclosed so many media vulnerabilities in the last 5 years that I don’t trust unupdated media players anymore
I’ve never stopped getting updates.I’ve been using K-Lite Codec Pack since Kazaa lite was relevant. It has always come with updated MPC-HC. Looks like the GitHub is here:
https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases
MPC-HC with madVR and a beefy GPU for the upscaling algorithms is godlike.
That’s a fork and it looks nice, thanks for sharing
Same, I’d take it any day over VLC because of native dark mode. VLC’s themes are janky and weird-looking.
Also MPC-BE because of nice support with dolby digital stuff lol
I find VLC really struggles with UHD high frame-rate video.
Is it vlc struggling or your entire PC?
I has one boss who wanted to stream 2 4K60 cctv feeds to his laptop while in the office. Needless to say his laptop struggles with a single 4K I didn’t even bother setting up the second feed.
Other video players work fine. My PC is fairly new.
Run a transcoder in “the cloud” (another PC in the room) and then it’s possible
what are you watching that’s uhd and high ftamerate? is is something you made? I’ve never heard of anything releasing like that because yeah, most people can’t play that lol.
Yeah, videos from my phone. Most things aren’t an issue.
I don’t even know what icon is on the right
I think it’s Windows Media player
MPC: All my homies hate wmp.
VLC the undisputed champ
I was missing Codecs in my Linux install. VLC couldn’t play a single file
Reinstall it.
Try the flatpak, it should come with all the codecs
Mpv is better
I’ve moved on. VLC used to be great, but my go to now is definitely MPC-BE.
This is news to me. What happened with VLC?
I use the SMplayer, which can play also almost everything
