Should a MacBook pro 2017 be dumb when playing 2k (2160p) H.265 video?

Question

macbook

MacBook Pro 2017 core I7 2.8 GHz.
movie HEVC.HDR.DTS-HD size 90 GB, 2 hours.
Stupid in all players. Is there something wrong with the device or is this normal?

Answer 1

Let me be corrected, but this is "normal". There is no hardware decoding for HEVC, and the processor cannot cope with such a bitrate.

Answer 2

It's a pity that I deleted the video file, next time I'll try IINA.
I downloaded the Sony Camp 4K Demo (HEVC, AAC) and it works without problems (except for VLC), although the codec seems to be the same..
