5d mark IV 4k video problem

Hey guys. Everytime I try view my 4k video files they playback is extremely laggy. Playback on the camera is smooth but when I transfer the video file from my SanDisc 64gb Extreme Pro 95mbs/s to my harddrive it becomes almost unwatchable.

 

I use VLC media player on a 4ghz iMac, core i7, 32gb ddr, AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4096 MB.

 

Please help!

If it plays smoothly on the camera, the fault must lie with the computer. You probably need more memory, a faster hard drive, or a faster graphics card. Or possibly all three.

 

Make sure you have as little else running on the computer as possible. If there's a resource issue, you want to at least try to minimize it.

I suggest you ask on the Apple support boards:

They have a final cut pro board and an iMac board.
