Quick Start & Pro Tips
Optimizing Playback for High-Bitrate H.264/HEVC Files
- Open the player and navigate to Preferences (F5).
- Go to Filter > Video.
- Under Video Output Type, select Enhanced Video Renderer (Custom Present) for better performance on modern GPUs.
- Navigate to Filter > Codec > Internal Codec.
- Ensure Use Hardware Acceleration is checked and select your preferred API (e.g., CUDA, DXVA) to offload H.264 and HEVC decoding from the CPU to the GPU.
Why: Leveraging GPU Acceleration via APIs like CUDA or DXVA is critical for smooth playback of high-bitrate 4K/UHD video files encoded with H.264 or HEVC, preventing dropped frames and CPU throttling.
Advanced Subtitle Synchronization and Format Handling
- Load a video file (e.g., a.mkv or.avi container) and its corresponding subtitle file (.srt,.ass,.sub).
- If the subtitle is out of sync, press the < or > keys to adjust the delay by 0.05 seconds.
- For permanent changes, go to Subtitle > Subtitle Sync.
- To customize rendering, go to Preferences (F5) > Subtitle > Others and adjust the Subtitle Layer to VMR/EVR for better integration with the video output.

Configuring 360-degree VR Video Viewing
- Open a 360-degree video file.
- Go to Preferences (F5) > Playback > 360 VR.
- Select the correct Projection Type (e.g., Equirectangular, Fisheye) to ensure the video is rendered correctly.
