Actually, latest (SVN) builds, get them from here: http://www.xvidvideo.ru/media-player-cla...ma-x86-x64 (Russian + English site, don't get freaked out by the former)
SourceForge build is r1249.

the one on x264 is 1301. Custom build?

Didn't realise they had a build on there (only saw the SourceForge link). Silly me.

Personally, I'm using MPlayer (with the SMPlayer GUI) as my portable media player. Using a special build of MPlayer that is patched to support ordered chapters.

But yeah, I guess it's worth a try making MPC-HC portable, as I like it's GUI the best.

Many CPUs can't decode it without lag (especially going to slow Flash); I suspect it will choke all but the best Core 2's, but I can't seem to find reliable results

I suspect it'll probably lag on all (not-overclocked) core2s besides the core2quads.

Also, I confirmed that CoreAVC breaks on youtube 4k. Others are having the same problem.

I have a core 2 quad q9550 not overclocked or anything. Youtube 4k is just barely too much to run perfectly smooth. If I kill a few processes that are using it a little, then it's smooth. It's not my graphics card, its cpu.

6 years later.. 4k content not worth the extra time and work due to Youtube's bottlenecking (as far as resolution goes, you do get higher bitrate when selecting 4k)

On the flip side:
- Many Intel CPUs from the last ~5 years can decode 4K fine
- Hardware 4K H.265 decoders exist these days, though I don't think Youtube uses H.265
- Internet bandwidth is increasing, depending on where you live in the world, but probably not enough
-» Google's next gen codecs (VP10) may help with this, but I doubt much (codecs get better compression ratio but increase computational costs; with CPUs not getting faster these days, there's somewhat a limit to how slow you can make a codec)

Still mostly pointless IMO, but barriers to 4K are going down (which was pretty much expected). I don't see 8K adoption any time soon, or even in a few years' time.

Looking back 6 years... yeah, pretty much the bigger = better mentality.
