But 720p HEVC encoded with "fastdecode" option should play just fine - at least my test encode worked just fine. Even a 1080p movie worked not too bad - at least lower bitrate scenes played just fine, which IMO is a incredible achievement by the devs so far.
I gotta say video qualty for a given size is just insane, hopefully things can get for a better in a future.
