He is also an extremly annoyed french guy who has no fucks left to give. One of the maintainers is on an episode of the FOSSPOD and it was glorious

Whenever someone ask me media player for Linux I suggest MPV but for Binbows I suggest VLC. I donโ€™t know why?

I do the same because VLC has an installer on Windows while MPV you have to manually extract from a compressed folder and then run the install script from command line

I just discovered something that VLC REALLY didnโ€™t like to play. A 4K50fps JPEG2000 YUV444 12bit lossless ~48 GB video that was only 1 minute long.

To be fair the bitrate of the video is insane at ~5700 Mbit/s. The bitrate is so insane that you should really consider using an NVME drive for playback.

MPC-HC could kinda play it but only with extreme stutter and lag. My CPU (Ryzen 9 5900x) was completely maxed out.

I think you need hardware acceleration for a video like this.
