What do you guys use to playback 4k or even mp4 for that matter

[MACHEK]

I tried playing my videos on my computer using Windows Media Player and it won't play any of my videos. It said something about not having the codec for it, but I need to find a reputable place to either get that or a better playback option where I won't get a virus on my computer. Any suggestions or links?

vlc media player.

So I downloaded it but when playing 4k its very jumpy and freezes, do you think that its my PC that just can't hang with it? I have a old Dell m1330 xps laptop, 3gb ram (haha same as my phone, I love that) and 2GHz processor on windows vista.

Second question, is it possible to burn this to a DVD or can you only playback on a bluray or something like that?

Oh yeah, that computer can't handle 4K video. You need a really modern computer.

My laptop has a 2.4ghz amd with 4gb ram, it's 4 years old, and it can't play back 4k either, very very choppy.

Here is a video I shot. While on youtube, try it 1080p, then try "original" resolution. You should see that 1080p should be smooth, but original (4K) will be very choppy.

Well there's your problem (actually my problem)... Yup, even 1080p playsback like crap on this laptop. Damn.

Now to just save the videos, I can save them on a thumb drive and eventually we can burn them onto bluray or a similar technology right? I mainly ask cause I wanted to record the kids in 4k, and eventually five or ten years down the line buy a 4k TV when they are affordable, but it would be nice to have some home videos shot that way.

my laptop has 3.4 ghz i7,12 gb ram, and a 1 gig nvidia gforce gts 360m and i can play them just fine

 

[droidxscott]

I have an Atari 800XL an they play just fine

 

[christianpeso]

Potplayer x64.

Plays every video that I have thrown at it. Have a geforce gtx 460 with 1gb ram. Plays fine. 4k resolution thru Youtube always stutters for me. I have read that it is a prob;em on Youtubes side.

strange i have intel i5 4200u with with 12gb ram 2 video cards intel hd 4400 and GT720m both are 2gb youtube 4k plays fine no lags but media player classic and vlc stutters on 4k videos

It is difficult for most players to afford 4K videos. You can download VLC player to have a try or downscale your 4k video to 1080p first before playing.

I use vlc for pc and mx player for android.

play 4k videos smoothly

for the 4K videos, not only about the powerful computerbut also the code that you may also has the influence. If your computer not such powerful, then I suggest you to downscale your files then have a try.
