Other 4K playback extremely choppy

[212rikanmofo]

i tried doing a test by recording using 4K at 60fps. When viewed on the iPhone Xs Max it plays smoothly. However when air playing or copying the file to my computer and viewing using VLC I noticed that it’s pretty choppy. Any ideas on why?

Is it an old computer?

Your PC isn’t fast enough to decode 4K. It’s very intensive on processors

It’s an i7 with a GTX 1080. How can that be slow?

Maybe due to HEVC encoding?

Depends. If you have a MacBook post 2016 then use QuickTime. As 4k60p use hevc and VLC isn’t very good at decoding it, but QuickTime is.

I have an early 2015 12" MacBook and a late 2013 iMac. Would that work? But how come playback is smooth when I've seen other people post their 4k video taken with the new iPhone Xs on Youtube?

It’s your vlc that’s choppy. Not ur processor. Try another video player that does hevc decoding Like QuickTime. Or change the encoding type ur phone camera settings and then record a new video and try it on vlc again. Apples got their own in house compression it uses for 4K.

Youtube reencodes it with vp9 codec.
