PC 4k playback

red_jelly

G'day,

 

so i have got a pretty good PC specs in my signature but it cannot playback 4k to 4.6k video files in VLC. It doesnt playback smoothly. TO be fair its from the Ursa mini 4.6k ~500mb/s and 4k scans of 35mm film. 

 

any tips on getting it to play back smoothly?

 

cheers,

VLC on Windows has trouble with 4K content, use something like Media Player Classic.

I have had a lot of trouble with VLC not playing back high bit rate files or high res ones. I would try to use another software to play it back in.

I recommend MPC-HC, so far it has been working fine for me when previewing high bit rate master files from my video cameras.  VLC is great for watching finish products, but not the original files straight out of the camera.

This discussion could also technically be in the Programs, Apps and Websites section since the issue is an application that is having performance issues.  It has less to do with Photography and Cinematography because it's not discussing capturing or editing something acquired by a camera.
