Problem with playing S23 Ultra videos on your PC.
Hello Forum, hope everything is fine. As mentioned in the title, I'm experiencing issues playing content I recorded on my S23 Ultra using a PC. The videos are captured in HDR10+ HEVC UHD format, and despite installing the necessary HEVC codecs and the MPC-HC player, playback is extremely choppy with noticeable lag. I have an older system running a 4790k + GTX970 combination. I came across this link while researching, and it seems the problem likely stems from the GTX970 not supporting HEVC Hardware Encoding, particularly for 10-bit content. As long as I can still play the videos, I’m okay with the current setup but it highlights the urgency to upgrade. If you have any suggestions or solutions, I’d appreciate your input. Thanks!
Vlc uses HEVC natively, so you didn’t need to purchase a codec. Since your system lacks hardware support for these files, it’s attempting decoding on the CPU—which is extremely challenging—and that’s why performance suffers. A simple solution is to avoid recording in HEVC and proceed without issues.
Yup, no hardware decoding available and the poor old CPU doesn't have the grunt to handle that on its own.
The 4K UHD format is likely to face challenges no matter what codec is used.
