    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.

        You can read more about why and how it was made here: https://www.svt.se/open/en/content/

        The only place I could find where I could kinda play the video is inside Davinci resolve, but it doesn’t look how I would like it to. Probably due to the apparent lack of HDR support in Resolve on Windows (unless you have a separate TV connected to the PC somehow.

          Ohhhhhh. It’s a video decoder torture test. “If your app can play this it can play anything” sort of deal. That makes sense.

          Also makes sense that VLC puked.

            I think it’s more of a test for encoding, not sure if you are really supposed to try and play it in an app.

        1 Terrabyte RAM with a 64GB RAM Drive perhaps?

      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

          I get similar results with ffplay compared to MPC-HC. I unfortunately haven’t been able to get proper hardware acceleration to work anywhere.

          Or maybe it does work and it’s still bottlenecked by the CPU somehow.

      ok but why would anyone have a video like that
