Power Director 21.3.2727.0. I completed a project ending up with 12 separate "chapters" saved as both 4K and HQ (720X460) files. These files are as big as 7gb. I want to show / autoplay these video chapaters sequentially from a laptop on a 4K TV.

Is there a prefered, or recommended program to use that is dependable and user friendly? Win Media Player, VLC, other?

Also, In viewing tests, I'm not seeing a discernible resolution difference between the 4K and HQ files. Why is this? I'd much rather use the much smaller sized files if I can get away with it. Thanks.

It really depends what your source video clips were for your produced projects. You're not going to add a lot of quality producing to 4k if source clips were only DVD HQ quality. It also depends heavily on viewing device, anything can look good on a phone or 14" monitor, maybe not on a 75" UHD 4K TV. Quality also very dependent on viewer, not all see or are bothered by differences.

Any player you're comfortable with and plays your created content.
