   Hey Benny!   
      
   The below video, GH010002.MP4, is a 4k 30fps h264 that required I set threads   
   to at least 2 to mplayer in order to play error free.  The mp4 called   
   GH010003.MP4 is a 1080p at 30fps and played fine without the threads switch.    
   They were both made with a borrowed "GoPro Hero 8 Black".  It has a waterproof   
   case and I hope to have footage soon starring sharks of The Stuart Channel,   
   which as luck would have it is withing spitting distance from where I am   
   currently sitting.  Please stay tuned for further details ... maybe ... we'll   
   see what happens.   
      
   Anyhow 4k movies are doable but are very heavy byte-wise and from what I see   
   today 1080p still wins.  My neighbour argues that a 48" or greater monitor   
   will probably start showing the difference.
