    If you're looking to extend your PC to be able to play video files in the HEVC format, you may have to shell out a little change. As initially spotted by Michael West on Twitter, Microsoft is charging 99 cents for the extension, which allows you to play the HEVC format in any app.

    what is it and why doesnt video just play?

    HEVC is just a CoDec (compression/decompression) scheme for video. "It's important to note that VLC started supporting HEVC videos from version 2.1.0. If you're using an older version of VLC, you may need to upgrade to the latest version to play HEVC files smoothly."
    Another suggestion is MVP.NET
