I have this problem too. I’d like to play these things on VLC since there are more things I can do with the video in VLC, but it’s just not functioning on Windows 10.
Curiously – VLC does play them on Windows 11 just fine, looks great. But my primary work machine is still running Windows 10 (& is stuck there).
I have the HEVC extensions from M$ installed, so Media Player can play them on Windows 10. Not VLC.
This suggests to me that VLC is misusing some system resource resulting in this error.
As to where they come from? GoPro is a good source of these!
It doesn’t seem to be a problem with every HEVC file. GoPro records at 4k (or that’s how I shoot for the application I’m using it for). It seems VLC can play some other HEVC.
