And even you yourself hasn't "voted". You probably will now, because I pointed it out. "Dance, my little puppet."
In English, (if we are to assume you're from US, as your flag claims), it'd be "you yourself haven't voted", now you owe me 50 bucks for the English lesson, it's about 5000 in Russian Rublies.

We all already know your views.
What about my "views", and how do they matter? MSFN members from the US can't supply Russians with any form of software or IT services, starting from the 12th of September, what is so hard to understand?

Regarding the very first three words -- "Do you think"...
What the US Treasury does is out of our European scope, hence the word "think", meaning we, (INTERNATIONAL members), can't influence the US treasury decision. You too need to accept it as a fact.
The reason for this topic is obvious.
Oh, and I kinda suspect why you don't vote.

Starting September the 12th, foreign services will cease operating in Russia due to U.S. Treasury sanctions prohibiting the supply of software and IT services to anyone in Russia.
If someone still thinks to supply software to a Russian/ Russian citizen, or consultant with the software usage, etc, be warned.
"SOFTWARE AND IT-RELATED SERVICES PROHIBITIONS
In coordination with the U.S. Department of Commerce and in line with G7 efforts to disrupt the Russian military-industrial base’s reliance on foreign IT systems, Treasury has taken steps to restrict the Russian military-industrial base’s access to certain software and IT-related services. To implement this policy, Treasury, in consultation with the Department of State, has issued a new determination under Executive Order (E.O.) 14071, which prohibits the supply to any person in the Russian Federation of (1) IT consultancy and design services; and (2) IT support services and cloud-based services for enterprise management software and design and manufacturing software. The determination will take effect on September 12, 2024. "

VC-1 is supported, it's just that it's disabled by default in LAV, I don't have any videos in that format so I didn't turn it on.
VC-1 is disabled by default in LAV?!?!?! Are they crazy? It's the default format for BluRay disks.
How is this possible? Probably, you wanted to say it's disabled in MPC-BE, the enemy of old OS?
I just can't comprehend who would want to compromise the common BluRay disk standard playback...

Maybe you should try the Lentoid decoder again on your current Pcs, and share the results with us.
I'd gladly help you, but I don't have a high end CPU or PC. My most "powerful" is Pentium G from 2013? 2014?
Supposedly, I can push it hard (overclock to the max.), but them again, it's not far from that old Quad Core.

Why are you so certain
What I am 100% certain of, - MPC-HC 64bit version decodes 10bit H265 faster than the 32bit counterpart, Try 64bit XP, maybe?

Why are you so certain that the nVidia 368.81 drivers do not support hardware acceleration of h265 video under XP? Have you tried it with a GTX 950 or GTX 969 graphics card, or do you know someone who has? I am asking because experimenting with these cards would involve me in a time consuming, difficult, and expensive rebuild of my HTPC with no certainty of the result. To a naive person like me all the elements for success seem to be there. For instance there are no missing dependencies in nvcuvid.dll. and the 368.1 drivers were built in 11/07/2016, while the GTX 950 was released in 13/03/2015. nVidia have stated that the 368.81 drivers support these two cards.
I said quite sure, not 100% certain. It's easy to guess because nVidia is famous for making artificial restrictions for older OS in general, a goof example was the artificial rate refresh limit introduced for XP.
Sorry, I don't have GTX960/50. I have a GTXTitan (Jan. 2013). And some time ago found a working 780 Ti in the local dumpster (E-waste).
Both only support 8 bit H265, not 10 bit.

Thank you! Finally somebody sad that. I recently was walking in park and thinking to myself that all this "new" formats are creating picture inferior to well tuned h.264.
P.S. I can add from myself that h.265 also create some kind of murkiness in videos and AV1 is insanely slow at encoding in this format.
You're welcome! Yes, indeed murky. AV1 is murky too, but it tries to compensate with high contrast settings. Murky/blurry video needs less pixels, less pixels mean less file size, simple math. Then one can claim he achieved a new breakthrough!
H264/x264 were the last good formats. There are some rare exception for H265 8bit made with the first encoders, they are somewhat bearable, but not as good as x264.
NVENC was always a piece of blurry garbage for all formats, anyways, the produced result was never sharp.

For the other question you ask,I have not been a programmer for at least 20 years (a Mesozoic era in this environment) so I cannot answer you exactly and prefer to leave the eventual answer to other MSFN members who have up-to-date expertise certainly better than mine.
You ought to set your "programmer from 1990s" legend straight before posting, otherwise it looks funny, I'd even say boringly funny, the ends between what you claim and the reality don't meet.

Ungoogled Chromium repo is just hosting patches to apply to Chromium's code and some utilities written in Python, but there's no code in there from which to build actual web browser.
@Sampei.Nihira doesn't know that. He has nothing to back it up, otherwise you'd get the answer already. The user simply ignores when asked to point to the source. There's a big possibility of chatting with a kid who's simply having fun on the other side of the cable. Let's see why, you asked him to back his info up, give links, etc, of course no proof followed, as usual.

BTW, the development of MHC-HC is ruined, by my personal opinion, the author gets vision problems, with each and every new version, it gets brighter, more contrast, etc.

regarding placebo - yes it improves the pixels a bit - special when challenged to a smaller file size (i looked at that results)
x265 10 bit tends to suppress film grain, H265 8bit tends to over-saturate videos a lot. AV1 tends to over-contrast videos a lot.

It is more of a consideration.
Anything that bothers me on the privacy side I have removed from about:config + Policies + uBlock Origin (AdGuard MV3).
For me it is easy,maybe for many MSFN members it is difficult.
Look at this test:
A few MSFN members manage,I hope, to partially block js in order to obscure filter lists.
Yay! You finally fixed your attachments problems! Congrats! But this image doesn't prove anything at all, it doesn't prove that FF is "user friendly" and "secure".
Any first grader can just block the elements of javascript on that page to get this result.

No, h265 is not supported in Win XP in any form, probably they just didn't add support to the driver.
Maybe he means that h265 requires DXVA2, which Win XP doesn't have either.
You mean he can't see any video output at all? But it should play using only the CPU!
Edit.
Probably his output colour is limited, so he needs to choose 8bit colour depth videos only.

The OP specifically asked about decoding, not encoding. His GPU obviously lacks NVENC anyways.

Using the Lentoid h265 decoder for CPU processing of h265 is a bit too demanding for my Core2Duo CPU, although it is watchable.
Lentoid h265 decoder, I tried it in the past on a very old Quad (LGA775, made 15 years ago or more) XP era, I don't exactly remember the model, it was something like Q8400, or so.
Very poor result, miserable, unwatchable. Skipping frames.

By "work" I mean hardware accelerated GPU processing.
Nvidia drivers are a closed source software, kept in secret. For XP one would need to write new portions of code and insert into them. Not possible at this stage, unless you have a mate working at nVidia to leak the drivers.

DXVA for h265 requires DirectX 11
Where do you get this from? DXVA2 is Vista native, the first release of Vista came out with DX10.0, but hardware acceleration works.
DX11 was added to Vista a bit later, in the form of an optional patch. Power DVD minimum requirements for hardware acceleration is Vista SP1.

Nvidia has no h265 support for DXVA in its 700 and 900 series card drivers for XP,
And what about the standard 8-bit H265? Some time ago I found a 780 Ti in the dumpster, the checkmarks correspond to what it supports in the terms of hardware acceleration.
But it's on Vista, I didn't try on XP. Driver version 348.01 (HP Elite).
The screenshot is old, I can't make more, I'm not at home currently. Took from e-mail.
