Gopro 9 video plays with frame rate drop

Postby riwer » 23 May 2022 08:32

Hello,
Hevc video from GoPro 9 (4K/60fps) plays with framerate drops on my desktop (win 10, i5-11400F, 16GB, RTX 3060, SSD) in VLC, while the Microsoft Movies & TV app runs smoothly (HEVC Video Extensions installed).
Note that in MPC I also have frame rate drops (even bigger).
I also have a dji drone and its 4k video (also hevc) runs smoothly in any players.
What could be the reason? I am completely confused.

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

Also upload a short sample of your original problematic file to Zippyshare.com or to WeTransfer.com and then post the link to the file here.

If needed cut it with DGsplit and read here about how to do it:

200 MB max should be enough.

Hello,

Thank you for your help. Maybe not the most revealing sample, but lags are still present

P.S. Video played from internal ssd (not micro sd card)

Well, yes your file is somehow a 4k 'standard':

And you have the hardware for playing it smoothly:

Code: Select all

avcodec info: Using D3D11VA (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, vendor 10de(NVIDIA), device 2504, revision a1) for hardware decoding

So I don't know what is going wrong TBH, you can try these tips:

In the MPC, I still achieved absolutely smooth playback by changing the render from MPC Video Renderer to madVR in the settings.
