To be fair, VIdeoLAN wasn’t the first to release a free player with HEVC playback that honor goes to Rovi, which launched with HEVC encode and decode in September. Thus HEVC is a natural, evolutionary step. In addition to extensive platform support, the player also supports an exceptionally broad range of codecs, container formats, and delivery protocols for a range of media types. By way of background, the VLC player is an open source player that’s widely used by most video developers and producers, and by many computer-savvy consumers. There’s also an interesting intellectual property-related side of the story which I describe below. I tested HEVC playback on Windows and Mac, which works very well. Last week, VideoLAN released, which incorporates HEVC and VCP9 playback on many of the multiple platforms supported by the player, which includes Windows, Mac OS, iOS, Android, FreeBSD, Solaris, Ubuntu, Mint, and multiple flavors of Linux.
