HEVC vs AVC
So the whole world is already prepared for H264 codec (which is also known an AVC) but not every hardware supports H265 (HEVC) which should be better version of H264. So if you already downloaded some good content in HEVC but having issues on how to watch HEVC on old hardware on your computer or laptop just head to the bottom of this post (there are some images and tutorials).
DXVA
DXVA – DirectX Video Acceleration. It is a technology used for acceleration of video decoding using discrete video card or integrated gpu core in CPU (Intel HD core i5, core i7 and etc). But the problem here is that not all operating systems support it (Windows XP does not, but since Windows 7 it’s ok). I believe nobody is using windows XP right now but anyway there are always some paranoiacs or old-schoolers who using Windows XP (especially in Russia).
Therefore place finishes on the disc, generally, very fast. All, now you need to do, is to buy a box (HDD Case) with USB support 3,0 (required condition), insert the disc any suitable (can be SSD or HDD) and to sacrifice a single port 3.0 PS4 on this case for external storage. What it comes at a price? Turns, you're spending money on the cost of the external drive, Well, USB3.0 port is sacrificed. As for me, so this is the cheapest way to expand the amount of disk PS4.
