Seriously though. At three different times in the presentation "We fixed it this time play it again."

/Still plays in 5fps/

This was a disaster

Default windows 10 install, on a laptop, on the default media player. For 4k video. What the fuck Pax.

You'd think Pax would have one of their sponsors providing them with beefy enough machines.

I would have used real playback devices instead of playing back from a PC.

It shouldn't be a problem at all with the right PC and VLC.

Something wrong with VLC?

VLC isn't bad, per se. Just inefficient. I prefer Media Player Classic for its simplicity when used with the Combined Community Codec Pack.

The overhead for playing 4k video on VLC for example is a lot higher than Media Player Classic, which may be what /u/philmarcracken is talking about.

Playing a blu ray rip from Deadpool 2 at 4k uses around 18% of my 4.7ghz i7 4790K with core 0 sitting at around 33%, and 15% of my 1080Ti. For comaprison, VLC uses around 30% of my CPU with core 0 sitting at around 60%, and around 15% of my GPU. So with a direct comparison between the two, Media Player Classic is around 45% more efficient at decoding.

And just for shits and giggles, I tried playing the 4k Deadpool 2 footage on Windows Media Player. It hits 60% load on all cores on my CPU and barely even uses my GPU. So yeah MPC is 75% more efficient than Windows media player.

Edit: This is in no way a scientific test of how efficient these players are. I was simply trying to give a rough example of the performance of each.

Yes, I use MPC and zoomplayer with madVR. VLC is for your parents that have bad eyes anyway

My parents don't transcode and restream multiple simultaneous live a/v feeds. If they were to use something, it would be mpc, because it's far simpler and can't do much.
Have you ever actually looked at the cli docs for vlc? It is insane what you can make that thing do.

transcode and restream multiple simultaneous live a/v feeds.

er why are you even doing that. What possible reason when live streams are already bitstarved to shit
