I have a camera that takes H.264 and H.265 compressed video. With the 264 setting, my laptop seems to have no issues playing the videos back. With the 265 setting, the video is choppy. I am running debian and did some searching. I do appear to have the libraries installed for 265. Do I also need to install the 'dev' libraries/packages to get the video to playback correctly? Are there any tips/tricks you all have re: playing H.265 video on a linux machine?
Thanks!

you are missing the specs of the machine and specs of the video you are trying
o play
The video was shot at 1080p 90FPS. The machine is running the latest version of debian and has a multi-core intel processor (although I cannot remember which one).

Which program are you using to reproduce the video?
With Mplayer I have found that it uses a single CPU core by default, and you have to enable
multithreading for it at runtime if you want to play heavy videos, for example.

I have tried both vlc and mpv. That is an interesting point you bring up. The machine is running an i3-4000M with a 2.90x4 CPU, but I don't know that it is attempting to use them all or not. I know there are some programs where you can specify the number of cores to use on the command line but based on the help output vlc does not appear to have an option to force it to use N cores.
you shouldnt have issues with that computer. you must have some hardware issue

Or I am missing something that allows me to play H.265/HVEC video. It
could even be the camera. The H.264 video it produces, using the same settings otherwise, looks just fine.

well didnt you try downloading a h265 video and playing it to see?

I am not certain where I would find one. All of the HD video on YT that I download appears not to be H265.

A lot of GPUs have built-in h264 hardware acceleration. I don't know
the state of hardware h264 acceleration, but it's probably much more
spotty, particularly if it's an older laptop. I'd bet dollars to
doughnuts that your machine just doesn't have any hardware
acceleration for h265
From other messages (i3-4000M) QuickSync does have h.264, but not h.265 hardware support, so you are correct in your assertion... I did take the time to check.

The i3-4000M is a Haswell architecture, the iGPU doesn't support
QuickSync decoding for h.265 in that generation, so it's doing CPU
decoding, which your system *should* be able to handle, but it's pretty
high overhead, which would account for stuttering, and will vary based
on memory and hdd performance as well.
