1. H.264/HEVC Hardware Acceleration

• ‘H.264 Hardware Acceleration’ may not be supported according to CPU/GPU or file format.
• ‘HEVC(H.265) Hardware Acceleration’ requires macOS 10.13 or later and recent CPU.
  • 6th(8-bit)/7th(10-bit) Generation Intel CPU or later.
• On ‘Native’ mode, it requires M4V, MP4 or MOV types encoded in H.264(8-bit)/HEVC(8-bit) and AAC/ALAC
• On ‘FFmpeg’ mode, it requires the video encoded in H.264(8-bit)/HEVC(8 or 10-bit).
• If the video track was encoded in settings that macOS doesn’t support, it may not be supported.
  • If it is not supported, playback and navigating may not be smooth according to CPU. (especially when plays 1080p, 4K)

2. Sandbox

• If it opens not ‘folders’ but ‘video files’ and these ‘files’ are not in the following folder or its subfolders; ‘P Folder’ folders in ‘Preferences’,
  • it should open the same-named subtitle files manually,
  • and it doesn’t support the feature that playlist is automatically made up of the similar-named video files.
• ‘P Folder’ option remembers folders once opened by this option. So, even if changes the current ‘P Folder’ value, it can access old ‘P Folder’ folders.

3. Playable Types

• It doesn’t support the playback of a protected video file.
• When it opens the BDMV’s folder, ‘m2ts’ files that are contained in ‘BDMV’ will be automatically added to the playlist.
