<p>I have recorded some 4K videos as MP4 file on Panasonic VX878 and 9xx. Both produce a video which, when played in VLC or other player on Linux, has 3 tiles: 2 next to each other horizontally at the top 20 % of the canvas, both displaying the actual video, and the rest displays the 1st second of the video, looping.</p>

<p>I wonder where is the issue: In the player on in the camera? When I played the video in the camcoder's playback, it looked fine.</p>

This will be hard to answer without the file. Please upload it somewhere and provide a link to the file. I would guess it is a problem with the player - not the camera if the camera can playback normaly

# 4K video from Panasonic VC8xx broken?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-09-03)

I have recorded some 4K videos as MP4 file on Panasonic VX878 and 9xx. Both produce a video which, when played in VLC or other player on Linux, has 3 tiles: 2 next to each other horizontally at the top 20 % of the canvas, both displaying the actual video, and the rest displays the 1st second of the video, looping.

I wonder where is the issue: In the player on in the camera? When I played the video in the camcoder's playback, it looked fine.
