HEVC hardware enc.

[snadge]

Hi

I have a 1GB Gigabyte GTX 650 OC edition running at 1.1Ghz and a 3rd Gen Intel Quad i5 @ 3.6Ghz, I use DmitriRenderer to Interpolate my videos (I know people hate 'Soap Opera Effect', but thats besides the point), after about 30 minutes of watching a HEVC encoded video on latest MPC (K-Lite Mega) the picture stops but audio continues. it never maxs out my GPU at 60-87% load @ 1080p/50hz - CPU about 5-10% AVC and 15-20% HEVC

Ive been told I need a new GPU that has HEVC hardware encoding... is it possible to have this edited into a BIOS update? or is it both a hard & soft change?

If I do need to purchase one, what would one recommend for someone that needs AVC/HEVC Hardware Encoding who only watches video and plays the odd lego or retro game...

is this just with videos you encoded or with all x265 videos?

all X265 videos playback (I dont encode)

You don't need a new gfx card then. Decoding is all software. When they talk about having an encoder on the GPU they are encoding videos with it.

This doesn't help your specific problem but you should have no problems decoding (playing) hevc. I have a 10 year old machine I use as a server and it has no problem playing and encoding x265 (although the encoding is v. slow).

Maybe try VLAN or another player and see if you have a better time. I know MPC-HC often loses sync when I play some hevc files.

I never install codec packs (k-lite etc.) MPC doesn't need them
Have you tried cleaning out your filters etc and trying an install of MPC on it's own?
Have you tried using SVP instead of dimitri?

It's HEVC decoding you need, not encoding. But MPC will fall back to CPU decoding anyway and should work.

I had a look at dmitriRender, and from the looks of it, it seems to trancode the video to add the extra frames, which technically does count as encoding.

Just to check if it's dmitriRender, use Handbrake and convert a video to HEVC, and then try playing the video with that. If the video plays fine then your system doesn't really have an issue with HEVC, but more of an issue with dmitriRender.
