ULTRA HD MP4 EXPORT FOR 4K SAMSUNG TV

videomagic wrote on 1/23/2016, 4:46 PM

I have 4K camcorder footage that I have succesfully, after editing, burnt to a blu ray disk, the image is nice and clear in the 2K that blu ray delivers.

However the only way I can watch this in the full 4K (Ultra HD) on my Samsung 4K tv is to export to my hard drive using MP4 at the full 4k resolution and copy this over to a flash drive/jump stick, (long long process).

BUT when played back using the rear connections on the tv with the stick, the picture is only crystal clear when the camcorder filming is stationary, soon as the camera is panned left or right, the picture is smeary.

Any solutions anybody would be very welcome.

This would suggest that the data transfer rate from the USB stick to the TV is not capable of maintaining the high datarates need when there is motion in the video.

Are you using a high performance USB 3 memory stick?

Is the TV USB a type 3 or 2?

If the TV supports SD memory cards directly, then I would use a type 10 SD or MicroSD + adapter to play the video from rather than a USB memory stick.

Hi John EB, Thank you,....

The USB stick I`m using is a Lexar 32GB USB3 `Jump Drive, TV is USB 3 to.

I can use SD memory cards in an adaptor so will try that next as I have Type 10 SD cards that I use with my Sony 4K camcorder,...Incidentally, when the 4K camcorder video is used directly in the tv (no Video proX editing) it plays absolutely fine so think I must be doing something wrong with the mp4 exporting I guess, but what, I don`t know!

LATEST VERSION VIDEO PRO X;-...

Hi, Could anyone tell me why when I export a 4K movie as MP4 to a Sandisk 128GB usb 3 stick it creates the one movie in separate segments on the stick,... when I play this on a Samsung smart tv via its usb 3 input there is a brief flash of black as it changes file as it plays the movie in 4K?

I have however successfully stored a 4k movie on other 128GB sticks with only one file for playback being created, but this Sandisk stick keeps storing the movie with multiple files, Is it something to do with the size of the movie I wonder, Any help/advice would be very welcome, thank you.

Hi,

Your USB stick is probably formatted for Fat32, which allows a maximum file size of 4GB. See this. You should reformat the USB stick to NTFS.
