HEVC codec is no longer free. Microsoft requires you to purchase a license.

It never was. That's why adoption sucks.
James James
They gave it away for free in the past.
Please note. If you are using a fresh install of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, you may need to go to the Windows store to purchase the HEVC codec to playback Netflix 4K/HDR content. Microsoft no longer provides this for free.
Michael Jones
Why the fuck would I do that? My TV doesn't have this problem and my PCs monitor isn't 4K because I'm not a special snowflake with alleged super human vision

>they
Who?
It's actually why MPEG standards suck, they cram in all sorts of proprietary variants of the standard, so that companies can demand royalties.
Brody Taylor
>Proprietary standard
>not free
Nothing has changed and not a problem for anyone.

It was never free.
It's just no longer included in the base price.
Which is good because it gives people a choice.
Daniel Reed
>receive less for the same price
>"good"
This is what your brain looks like on unrestrained capitalism.
Blake Baker
He's probably again net neutrality too because it gives consumers more choice, like Comcast or suicide.
Jeremiah Rivera
Would this affect video game cutscenes?
Wyatt White
No. The video game developers will most likely include a license for HEVC decoding for the cutscenes.
Daniel James
Well, the price of Windows 10 should come down as a result.
Nah, I'm against net neutrality because I want to see Americans suffer no other reason.
Joshua Perez
I tho video cutscene use bink video?
Juan Flores
Works fine on my iPhone and my Mac.
Natively supported too for encoding and decoding.
Even works on the iPhone 5s :)
Jeremiah Miller
This makes more sense:
People encoding HEVC should pay for the license to have their own videos decoded.
If, say, Netflix likes HEVC so much they could easily pay for it themselves.

>Microsoft has billions but won't even subsidize HEVC decoder costs
HEVC IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT

MS begins on AV1, h264 don't think avoid internet video, becomes standard web, now h265 want gets a lot royal money from web.
Justin Murphy
Does the Winshitters nightmare never end?
Gabriel Moore
Mkay.
I suppose everything is in h.264 anyway
Oliver Gutierrez
You also have to pay for decoding, that's the issue with the MPEG standards. Luckily, non-free browsers such as Google Chrome come with these already paid for by Google. However, on Windows, Microsoft paid for it, so you could have it in whatever browser or user application you wanted for "free".
Owen Stewart
people used 265 ???
kekekekeke
Isaiah Foster
Oh you mean microsoft specific implementaion of codec is not given out? They did the same thing for DVD playback when W10 first launched, they only provided it free for people upgrading from W7 etc. Anyway 4k with DRM is cancer, stick to ffmpeg based players.
Carson Gonzalez
>netflix
Literally lol.
Dylan Phillips
>You also have to pay for decoding
My point is: instead of making consumers pay for decoding they should make the content creators pay for both encoding and decoding.
Making consumers pay is like selling someone your product in a locked box the buyer has to pay extra to open.

>Making consumers pay is like selling someone your product in a locked box the buyer has to pay extra to open.
Or like selling an app that can only be used on a $1000 facebook remote made by Apple.
Samuel Taylor
AV-1 is in final stages of development, IDK lol.
Kayden Bell
AV1 when?
Jack Ramirez

Ryan Campbell
It's great that Microsoft joins in supporting AV1
Alexander Baker
So glad I fell for the LTSB meme.

Is this bait? Can't find anything about this online.
