![]() So, in that context, would you actually recommend the MacBook Air or a refurb 2015 MacBook (which can't play it properly)?Īlso, these videos don't work at all on my iPad Air 2, even with iOS 11, because the task is simply too much. These will also work fine on the 20 MacBooks. In this instance, Skylake MacBook Pros (2016) are fine because they will decode 8-bit 4K HEVC in hardware. On more recent MB Air machines they can be played back for example, but they still have moderate CPU usage (and thus decreased battery life). That is completely unplayable on my old MacBook Pro. Would I downgrade to 1080p h.264 just because my other machines can't handle 4K HEVC? No, I'd rather just get machines that can play it natively. ![]() Right now, with my iPhone 7 Plus and iOS 11 beta, all my video now is 4K HEVC 8-bit. For example, whenever I record video of even just my kids on my iPhone, I just use the best option is that is available on it. There are major limitations to this QT though, that I’ve found so far.ĭoes anybody know how to access/edit/delete the controls/settings of QuickTime Player?Įveryone's different, but the main factor to consider is how everything in your media ecosystem will grow. So, I’ve decided to go with QT for now, as much as possible, until some other player that uses similar kind of cpu resource(in turn battery) comes up. Though I knew it’s expected, I was surprised to see how playing a 2 hour film in IINA differs from playing the same file in QT - strictly measuring battery life. ![]() I bought iStat Menus 2 days ago and have been using the menu item that shows the remaining battery time. Quicktime uses significantly less resource. The other day I noticed something interesting as a fellow MR reader mentioned in his post. ONLY in QuickTime Player though, bacause its the only player with hwdec, as of now. Doesn’t break any sweat at all and plays the said file at less than 50% load in one cpu core. the 60fps 70mbps 4K HEVC Sony Camp plays super fine with hardware acceleration. Please sign here and let put pressure on Apple! ![]() I created a petition to ask Apple to issue a MacOS High Sierra Software Update to support HEVC 10-Bit hardware decoding in the AMD Radeon Pro GPUs, making the MacBook Pro Late 2016 support HEVC 10-bit hardware decoding. ![]() Leaving the 10-bit ones for software decoding, thus almost unplayable. This means that MacBook Pros Late 2016, which feature Intel Skylake processors, are only capable of hardware decoding HEVC 8-bit video. It just use Intel Core processor capabilities. MacOS High Sierra does not use AMD Radeon Pro GPU capabilities for video hardware decoding in general. When playing HEVC 10-bit videos in Windows 10, via Bootcamp, hardware decoding from the AMD Radeon Pro GPU is used and the video is beautifully played, with very low CPU usage. This means that the vast majority of HEVC videos (coded in 10-bit) can benefit for hardware decoding in these machines and can be watched flawlessly, when compared to software decoding (which makes videos playing sluggish). MacBook Pro Late 2016 featuring AMD Radeon Pro GPUs does support HEVC 10-bit Hardware Decoding. ![]()
