Read the VLC 3.0 release notes. Performance is no longer a problem on 4k & 8k videos.

True. Should have read the full changelog. Thank you for pointing it out. I'll give it a try.

The change is that VLC now supports H.265 hardware decoding on mac.

Great that VLC iterates so quickly!

My gripe with VLC on Mac is that the fullscreen mode is not a real Mac full-screen. It just maximizes. There is no way to put it besides another chrome tab for example (quicktime and any other program lets you do this)

VLC > Preferences > 'Use native fullscreen mode'

I believe this was originally done because Lion would black out all other monitors when fullscreening something.

> VLC now supports H.265 hardware decoding on mac.

Doesn't seem to work on last year ones with only dedicated GPU-hardware acceleration.

Contact me, with logs, please. :)
