I have a P3S and never ran into issues of hardware performance (computer) regarding watching the video (2.7k). My PC is not the latest but it has decent performance. Few days ago however, I got an Osmo camera, and while trying to play back the 4k Video, I get very 'poor quality' video, whether it's 'stuttering' being 'choppy', or colors not rendering properly. Hence, the 'motivation behind this thread.
I realize/understand that there are several aspects/variables that affect how well video is both recorded and played back, and hopefully there are some knowledgeable community members out there who can chime in. The immediate questions that come to mind are:
1. What are the requirements of the micro SD card to enable fast enough write speeds, to record 4k video.
2. While playing back video directly from the SD card, does the computer interface (card reader) have enough speed/bandwidth or one is better off copying the video to a local HDD/SSD first?
3. What are the minimum/desired computer requirements for smooth 4k video playback
4. What playback softwares/apps are better suited? e.g. VLC vs Windows Media player, vs QuickTime ... etc.
Any other questions/thoughts?
