[doublepost=1482796876][/doublepost]I'll start with this incredible short film, filmed with a Red Weapon 8K camera

Here are some great 4K channels:

- UrAvgConsumer (uses a Sony FS7 4K camera)
- Jonathan Morrison (uses a 6K Red camera)
- Marques Brownlee (uses a 8K Red camera)
- Krystal Key (uses a Panasonic GH4 + speed booster)


Here's a few of their videos:

it doesn't matter wether it's shot on 8k or 80000k even.. if its on youtube, its maxed out at 4k, and youtube 4k has in general a much lower quality than blu-ray 4k...

You'll need to use Chrome to get the 4K60p options (for some reason it doesn't/t show in Safari!)

Awesome site! Downloaded the Acrobatics video... pure eye candy. Of note, playing the file through Quicktime barely got the fans going

Wow, you're right. Quicktime didn't turn the fans up at all and ran smooth.
VLC player had hiccups and fans hit 5000+ rpm. Hope this is something VLC can improve in the future.

*update*
I was able to get VLC player playing these videos smoothly and with the same low performance hit (& fan rpm) as Quicktime.

It appears that VLC isn't using hardware acceleration when set to 'auto'.
VLC Preferences, Input/Codecs, change the 'Hardware Acceleration' option from 'Auto' to 'Video Decode Acceleration'.

After doing that VLC plays those 4k videos as well as Quicktime.
