Brand new Mac Studio M2, 64gb ram, VLC can't playback MKV HEVC x265 videos without stuttering.
All software is up to date.
File is stored locally on the internal drive.
My old 2010 cheese grater could play these files back flawlessly.
How is this not working?
Studio
It's a problem with VLC - version 3.0.17 works fine - all above have problems with M series procesors.
Try Cisdem player
if the vlc is still an x86 intel based app using rosette stone, then that could be the explanation maybe vlc is working on making a native arm version, if it was me then I would check their site for insight
Regarding choppy playback on VLC I have been using Final Cut Pro and notice that any resolution HEVC file produced by FCP at any resolution is choppy on fully updated apple silicon VLC but that VLC has no problems and is a smooth as silk on non Apple generated 4K HEVC files. Of course QT player plays the Apple HEVC files perfectly. This is a VLC compatibility problem.
Yeah, that's not going to happen. VLC has more features, no pop-ups, etc.
Get Info says Apple Silicon.
Thanks for the reply!
Same, w/ max ram. VLC reports apple silicon build.
