Just tried to play a 4K Movie with MC...it played but in very slow motion...do i need to update codecs or change some settings?

thanks

I think you need a much more powerful GPU to handle 4K decoding (at least HVEC encodes) to use ROHQ.

Much more powerful than what?

[glynor]

Than what is required to handle 1080p HVEC or H.264 content.

That could be what it was. Or the rip could be messed up? Or there could be a bug. We don't have enough information to know.

Aside from tests (which aren't rendering to a 4K display, because I don't have one) no. I think others have, but I'm not sure, honestly.

I then put it on a flash and stuck it in my Samsung Ultra HD TV and it played and looked amazing.

Yep but your TV has a dedicated chipset to decode the UHD content.
What's your computer's GPU?
I've a  GTX 970 which supports hardware acceleration for HEVC and MC plays 4K content flawlessly.

That's what Glynor was explaining, you need a more powerful hardware to decode HEVC on your PC.
Either a recent CPU (8 cores seems to be a minimum if theres no dedicated GPU) or/and a GPU latest Nvidia 950§960/970 has support for that, I think AMD is providing the same on their latest graphic boards.
