I'm using a Laptop with configurations Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4310U Haswell CPU / Intel(R) HD Graphics 4400 GPU / Windows 7. I've installed latest drivers (10.18.14.4414) to support HEVC/x265 Hardware Accleration.
DXVA Checker shows it supports HEVC_VLD_Main / DXVA2 / SD HD FHD 4K.
When Play x264 videos VLC Playter debug log shows that it is using the GPU for decoding.
avcodec info: Using DXVA2 (Intel(R) HD Graphics Family, vendor 32902(Intel), device 2582, revision 11) for hardware decoding.
But while playing x265 it is not using the GPU to decode the HEVC video and the CPU utilization is comparatively higher. Please help to propertly configure vlc to utlize the GPU to decode HEVC video.
I'm trying to play the sample video downloaded from http://jell.yfish.us/ of HEVC Main Profile Level 4 and other video of 3.1 Level.
