I checked with Samsung support and they provided me a link with supported codecs (`http://support-us.samsung.com/cyber/popup/iframe/pop_troubleshooting_fr.jsp?idx=409600&modelname=UN60ES6100F&modelcode=UN60ES6100FXZA`). It looks like for everything they support only up to 30FPS. Thats why my TV does not play 60FPS video. :(

<p>I have 60fps MP4 videos shot with a Canon G7x camera.  They playback find on my laptop, however I would like for the videos to be playable on TVs that have video file playback capability (such as my Samsung Smart LED TV.) I have tried converting to .MOV using QuickTime, but that format also does not work.</p>

<p>Is there a way to prepare such videos to allow them to play directly on TVs?</p>

have you tried checking which codecs your TV can play (the manual should tell you) and convert to them. Or convert to video and just feed that to your TV over HDMI.

I am a newbie to this video world, I will check what's supported by my tv. For the codec conversion, do I have to use any specific software? Could you please share the names of those? Right now, I have iMovie.

# How to encode 60p MP4 video to play on TVs?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-11-14)

I have 60fps MP4 videos shot with a Canon G7x camera. They playback find on my laptop, however I would like for the videos to be playable on TVs that have video file playback capability (such as my Samsung Smart LED TV.) I have tried converting to .MOV using QuickTime, but that format also does not work.

Is there a way to prepare such videos to allow them to play directly on TVs?
