   Hey Mike!   
      
    MP> Are there any tips/tricks you all have re: playing H.265 video   
    MP> on a linux machine?   
      
   Make sure your player has H.265 capabilities.   
      
    $ ldd /usr/bin/mplayer | grep lib.26.   
           libx264.so.161 => /usr/lib/libx264.so.161 (0x00007fc80c9f2000)   
      
    $ ldd /usr/bin/ffmpeg | grep lib.26.   
           libx264.so.161 => /usr/lib/libx264.so.161 (0x00007fd9a99f9000)   
           libx265.so.192 => /usr/lib/libx265.so.192 (0x00007fd9a9471000)   
      
   As shown above mplayer is H.264 capable while ffmpeg can handle both.  I   
   believe mplayer can be built to use H.265 but so far that has been untested on   
   any machine here.  H.264 works great with everything I've thrown at it.  Also   
   I believe the end result is less bloated than H.265 and like you say your   
   laptop has no issues with it.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
