Actually, you can play HEVC files with VLC without any problems. It supports HEVC (H.265) natively. Just make sure you're using the latest version.

But yes, the options mentioned by you can also be great alternatives!

vlc is not compatible with hevc video, but there other alternatives like k-lite codec, vidmore or 5kplayer.

S24U HEVC not playing on VLC 3.0.21

Author's Note: You can switch the "Video format" to the more widely used H.264 by going to "Advanced video options".

Hope that helps!

Have a Google Pixel phone, videos taken with H.265/HEVC format enabled, copied to my Win10 desktop.

Installed VLC 3.0.21 since it is supposed to play HEVC videos. IT DOES NOT. VLC crashes.

Start again it states VLC crashed, duh, and then send bug report to developer team.

So what's going on VLC team???
