Although VLC has H.265 support, I always have had trouble playing Samsung NX1 4K H.265 files on my Mac. I have a MacBook Pro (Retina 15in), which has plenty of horsepower.

I finally discovered a wonderful free, open source, cross platform app, mpv (http://mpv.io), which plays H.265 content perfectly and leverages hardware acceleration on graphics cards. No more stuttering video.

When I need to convert H.265 to other formats, I use a Mac app called iffmpeg (http://www.iffmpeg.com), which is a GUI front end to ffmpeg. You can run the open source ffmpeg directly on the command line, but getting all the commands argument right is a hassle.
