This seems like an opportunity for hardware acceleration (CPU/GPU instructions / x265 accelerator) to reduce the power consumption on video playback for the majority of devices. Perhaps it's cheaper and simpler to make a co(+)dec chip that can encode too.
- dogma1138 11y agoNVIDIA currently supports HEVC decoding on it's GTX 900 (and 750ti/se as they are also Maxwell) GPU's. iPhone 6s has h265 decoding also (works with Plex without transcoding flawlessly). Qalcomm has support for HEVC through all of it's latest generations 200 (2xx, 4xx, 6xx all) through 800 (808 onward) series of SOC's. I have not had issues playing 1080 x265 content videos on any of my mobile devices past 18 months or so since they've started releasing them. There's just something to be said about 200-300MB per 1080p episode and about 700MB per movie. Can cram an entire library to most of my current mobile devices for a flight/long commute without having to worry about SD cards/USB OTG.
