I am just curious about what "type" of DVXA VLC 2.2 RC2 uses since AFAIK Movist: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/movist/ ... 8075?mt=12 CPU usage is way lower. On an average 1080p MKV H.264 video I manage around 20-30% CPU usage compare to VLC's 40-50%.
Using VLC I can't even play this video (H.265 MKV): http://trailers.divx.com/hevc/TearsOfSt ... _7subs.mkv
Lot of stuttering, grey pixelated screens with 140%f of CPU usage while Movist just manages it fine and even under 100% of CPU usage.
All these tests have been carried out on my 2010 MacBook Air 1.86 GHz 4 GB RAM.
