GH4 Windows Media Player can't play 4K files

[aljudy]

I have Windows 7 Pro and VLC, Nero Stream player, Lightroom, etc all can handle 4K MOV files. I like Windows Media Player and don't know why it can't handle them. Has anyone been able to get it to work?

Have you tried shooting MP4 rather than MOV?

Will play 4K and 96fps slow motion

Will even let you pick correct aspect ratio when shooting w/ anamorphic lens

I've also noticed that Windows Media Player hangs when playing 100 mbs HD files from the GH4 too. Especially, when playing directly from an SD card.
