![]() Media Player Codec Pack Plus differs from the usual Media Player Codec Pack by including more encoder codec’s, including additional 64bit codecs. Method 1: Install Media Player Codec Pack Plus to Handle HEVC with WMP One of the method is to install HEVC encoding codec for Windows Media Player while the another is to transcode H.265 to H.264 codec video for WMP. The list of supported codecs and formats for Windows Media Player can be found here: Īlthough Windows 10 limited Windows Media Player to play HEVC/H.265 video, we still have other ways to help you solve it. As HEVC is very computationally complex, this will provide a more consistent experience.Īlthough there are limited devices in the market today with HEVC hardware support (e.g., NVidia GTX960), this is likely to change soon. Microsoft has responded that Initially they included HEVC (H.265) software decode in Windows 10 pre-release for Windows for PC and phone. But later they made a late decision to limit HEVC support to devices that had hardware support. However, Windows Media Player and the Film & TV (Movies & TV) app do not support HEVC playback in the build 10240. ![]() Those of people on Windows 8.1 have had to rely on Media Player Classic or VLC for HEVC needs, and that is still an option on Windows 10. In earlier builds, such as 10074, Windows Media Player on Windows 10 will be able to play HEVC formats. WMP on Windows 10 Doesn’t support HEVC/H.265 Unlike Windows 8.1, Windows 10 will come with out-of-the-box support for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) and MKV. Microsoft has been working very hard with Windows 10, addressing user feedback as part of the Windows Insider Program and making various refinements and improvements to the operating system. ![]() ![]() Windows 10 gets native support for HEVC/HEVC Why? That’s because the answer is differenct. But when you want to ask that if you can play HEVC video on Windows, you’d better disjoin these two questions to ask: " Does Windows 10 support HEVC?" and " Can I Play HEVC/H.265 with Windows Media Player?". I know Windows Media Player is the default video player for Windows 10.
