Beta version with hardware decoding available for testing.

#1 Added hardware video acceleration.
Support hardware video decoding playback up to: 8K, 60fps, 10-bit, YUV 4:2 :0, GPU supported codecs.
Hardware decoding availability will depend on the GPU’s microarchitecture generation.

Hardware decoding is faster than software decoding but is limited to a few selected video codecs and profiles.
The latest generation video cards (Turing microarchitecture) support up to 8K at 60 fps for hardware decoding, other video cards may support hardware decoding only up to 8K at 24 fps.
Older generation video cards may support hardware decoding only up to 4K at 30 fps.


#2 Improved software video decoding performance.
Support software video decoding up to 8K, YUV 4:4 :4
Software playback performance will depend on the CPU generation and number of cores.


To avoid data transfer rate bottleneck, a high bitrate video (>800 Mbps) should be played from a SSD.

To access VHT v1.10.0 beta version select the beta build branch.
