Windows 10 doesn’t support HEVC format by default. Just install 5KPlayer as your video player for Windows 10 will do. Besides that, 5KPlayer intuitively detects and plays RStereo, Dolby, DTS multi-channel surround sound in any audio format, be it MP3, AAC, AC3, WMA, FLAC & ALAC lossless audio format too. Furthermore, it supports a lot of subtitle formats including srt, ass, ssa, json, aqt , sub, etc.

Yes, 5KPlayer supports NVIDIA CUDA, Intel QSV, DXVA 2.0 and AMD Hardware-acceleration. It maximizes your visual enjoyment with minimal consumption of CPU and GPU thanks to that. Enjoy all your 4K, 8K HDR videos smoothly and shutter-free. Besides, it also can stream video or music between PC/Mac and Android/smart TV/Xbox/PS4 through DLNA. Apple AirPlay is supported as well. Screen mirroring becomes an easy task then. That’s not all, there is also a screen recording utility that allows up to 4K UHD video records. Isn’t that great?

There are other 5KPlayer useful features like YouTube Downloader. Of course, it does not limit to YouTube only and supports other sites like Facebook, Yahoo, DailyMotion, Vimeo, Vevo, Metacafe and so on. It can also convert online video soundtracks to MP3. You can use it as a ringtone then. Well, I can keep on going listing all the 5KPlayer features. It’s better for you to try out 5KPlayer yourself. It’s free.

And don’t forget the 20,000,000 Downloads Thanksgiving Giveaway. You might be one of the lucky winners to walk away with Samsung 4K Smart TV, Apple AirPods with Wireless Charging Case, Seagate External Hard Drive or Amazon Echo Dot 3rd generation. Good luck!
