10bit video not working

[pattcz]

Hello, i found out that video players from windows store in WIN10 have trable playing 10bit encoded videos.

Ist there workaround ?

Thank you.

Do you have a Kaby Lake processor? If not, you can't decode 10bit.

In other video players like MPC-HC, Pot Player video play fine. But in win 10 deafault video player Movies and TV Shows is only black screen so in other video players from windows store.

Windows Media Player? I'm running Windows 7 so I don't know if it's still the default in Windows 10.

He may be talking about AVC while you are talking about HEVC?


With AVC 10 bit I believe you won't be successful with the Microsoft decoders. You can either use different player (MPC-HC, VLC ..) or in Windows Media Player try to use e.g. LAV Filters (Win7DSFilterTweaker can make WMP use them). For the "Movies & TV" app of Windows 10 - I don't know if it is possible to use external decoders. Maybe not - or at least not DirectShow (like LAV Filters).

yes it is AVC sorry for misunderstanding

I know i can use different player but i like one from windows store (ACG Player) and so i was curious if it is there a way to force external decoders for windows app video players

Is that a Windows 10 thing? Because I've played 10 bit (both AVC and HEVC) on a rather old (Intel Iron Lake) laptop running Linux.

Windows 10 comes with HEVC 10 bit decoding out-of-the-box (with certain hardware + drivers including Kaby Lake). But with alternative players you can play it on just about any PC with any Windows or Linux.
