Yes, that's what I've been told before. But as you're supposed to be able play h265 well as it's even hardware decoded on the CPU I was wondering if you maybe had just little RAM, so that's why I...

I'm sorry for my late response guys.

@SeijiSensei
I've been looking at things like that and mini pc's, but they're really not what I'm looking for. Thanks for your advice anyway!

@Yellow...

Yes, I probably am. I'm always a bit wary of higher temperatures because when I watch video with these "advanced" codecs my problems with bad performance correlate with high cpu usage and high...

Thanks for the testing. These video's are quite static. so probably not the most representative for practical use, but maybe an indication for what to expect. So far so good I'd say. The temperature...

You're right of course. I'm aware that all video's are different. I added this link to some small video's on all kinds of formats in my previous post, but they're very static so I already doubted...

@Yellow Pasque

Thanks for your advice. From what I've been able to figure out the Intel 11th generation and up support AV1 (both encode and decode),...

Normally I watch from what I record from tv or download over torrent, mostly from the forum I mentioned, but there are many torrent sites. I'm in Europe and what I get from tv is mpeg2 as well as far...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, as the saying goes, making predictions is hard, especially when it concerns the future. That's why I was talking about the foreseeable future, and mentioned the codecs...

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a new PC. I like it to be future-proof to play video with codecs like HVEC, AV1, AV2 and h266 in VLC at higher speeds. Normally I watch documentaries at a speed of 150...

I've not plugged in my drives into my windows computers for ages. I've not really looked into what caused the drive to malfunction. Maybe it's the adapter or something else with the powersupply. It's...

I think the issue was some damage caused by the hard reset while the drive was being used (see my original post). But I may be wrong, and there can always be correlated issues as well.

But the use...

I'm not going to bump it into eterenity either. But if someone is searching for something similar and finds this post who might have an idea it's worth posting of course for other people. That's why...

I don't know why, but even after two days there's only one view of this post. I had and continued to search for answers on the web, but there was nothing concerning erroneous partition-sizes that...

Hi,

I have a NTFS partition on my harddrive and after I delete files from it, either directly or from the trash, the free space doesn't increase anymore. When I add files to the disk the free...

Thanks for your reply. In the keyboardsettings (Xubuntu 15.04) I can't find any "Apple" settings. I tried "English US Macintosh" and the English UK Macintosh settings, but no joy...

Hi,

I recently bought some handy (I thought), very small end very cheap keyboard, which is supposed to run on every OS (PS, tablet, PS, etc) but Linux was not mentioned, still I supposed that...

Okay, the scan is finished. But I apparently pressed a wrong button and the entries that were found were gone from the list, except for the NTFS partition. All I can say there were 4 other small...

I hope not!
But I'll let you know.

Thanks guys, for the professional recovery advice. But it's all not life-threatening or worth hundred of dollars ;-) I lost nothing really personal or irreplaceable.

This testdisk scan I started...

Hmmm, that doesn't sound good. But it's not particularly the newest drive anyway, so it may not be too unexpected. 1465 sectors, that's about 12MB at a clustersize of 8kB. That's not really all that...

GSmartControl shows one pink error in the attribute tab:

In GSmartControl the basic health check shows "passed", but the short self-test says "completed with read failure".

Hi,

I was downloading some large files to an external USB-drive (NTFS). Then one download somehow failed, the other download continued and finished normally. After that I couldn't move anything on...

Yes, this was the case indeed. It was missing from the active processes, and a restart of xfdesktop worked out. Did a reboot and it's still okay.

I'm relieved the solution was this simple (I was...

Hi,

I accidentally created lots and lots of files in some folder, which I sent to the trash. Emptying the trash went slow and while doing so the desktop hung, I couldn't click anything. When I...
