HEVC/X265 - 100% cpu load (1 Viewer)

Can someone test it with LAV 0.65?

Fixed: Improved HEVC DXVA2 decoding on a few samples

Using software decoding, it seems to be the same performance as 0.64 - I don't have any hardware that supports HEVC decoding to try DXVA2.

I can confirm it, in 32-bit environment same performance as 0.64, way slower than Lentoid.

Hi
Maybe @nevcairiel can explain the diff about LAV and Lentoid HEVC ?
About Lentoid HEVC it seems to not support TS files but for sure i prefer to use LAV Filter codec

Lentoid HEVC decoder uses SIMD instructions and multithreading optimizations, that is why it is faster that LAV http://xhevc.com/en/hevc/decoder/keyFeatures.jsp

@Vasilich ,
interesting data on the Strongene website. I haven't tested the download, not to speak used the codec yet, but for the Windows licenses the website states 2 US$ per unit with 10,000 decoders minimum purchase. Looks like they are targeting HTPC manufacturers only.

cannot confirm - clicking DOWNLOAD button here http://xhevc.com/en/hevc/decoder/download.jsp leads to downloading RAR archive with decoder and instructions to install it.

From the download page - "LentoidDec is free for non-commercial use under the License Restrictions"

...and from the Strongene HEVC Decoder (SHD) manual:

"The personal use of SHD is free and encouraged, while both the integration of SHD into software and included for mobile Apps are also acceptable via software license or other commercial agreements."

Where did I say that I can't download the software?

Didn't want to start a new thread as I believe my issue is related, so here it goes... Recently I've started messing around with HEVC/X265 and my way outdated HTPC (E8400 Core2 CPU with AMD HD6450 GPU) seems to be stuttering a bit while playing 720p hevc encoded files while using LAV 0.68 (MP 1.14). The great info in this thread has pointed me in the direction of the Strongene decoder. While browsing there site I realized that in addition to the standard Windows version, an AMD Opencl version is also available. Has anyone compared them using similarly "weak" hardware? I'm thinking my GPU is probably too anemic to accelerate the decode properly so I'm probably better off with the windows version.
