How to install free HEVC codecs on Windows 10 (for H.265 Video)

Configurare noua (How To)

Situatie

Windows 10 supports video files encoded with High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), also known as H.265 video. However, Microsoft charges for its official codecs and doesn’t include them in Windows 10.

Solutie

High-Efficiency Video Coding, more commonly called HEVC, is a specialized video compression standard. Raw video files from modern video cameras, including cellphone cameras, are enormous. HEVC allows those video files to be compressed to more manageable sizes so that they can be stored on mobile devices or physical disks, or transmitted over the internet.

The popular third-party video player VLC, for example, includes its own built-in codecs. To play HEVC (H.265) videos in VLC, just install VLC and open them—done.

For built-in support, you’ll need the codecs. These aren’t included with the latest versions of Windows 10 but must be installed from the Microsoft Store. These codecs are also required for encoding video in HEVC (H.265) format in applications that use Windows 10’s system codecs.
